Does anyone know if Blank inkjet printable Blu ray DVDs are available anywhere via the net?

Yes,

I've just received my first ones from APRmedia.com,

Verbatim x4, £8.48 inc VAT.

Haven't used one yet though!

Just checked, they're out of stock now. Don't know if anyone else has them.

I spotted the APR media site and that they were out of stock hence my initial question. I would have thought though that they would have been more widely available by now.

I must admit to not having ept completely up to date with this, but I thought that 'burnt' BD-ROMs only worked on things like the PS3, not the BD players. I also thought in order to produce BDs you needed to pay a £3000 (might be $3000) licence?

Anyone have a DEFINITIVE answer, not speculation or a guess? :D

Not a confirmation, but that's what I've heard as well.

I have BDP300 Sony Blu-ray player, when I updated it with latest firmware(a few months back) this allowed playback of authored blu-ray discs with full menu functions. I have supplied 3 weddings on Blu-ray so far, as well as standard DVD. The cheap & cheerful Pinnacle Studio 12 does this without the bugs from the earlier versions

To JGould

You sound just the sort of chap who might be able to help me - please see my thread 'A Blu-ray disk for testing?' in the classified section.

Also anyone else who is burning Blu-ray disks with interactive menus.

Happy to buy one (that's why I put my original message in Classified)

Thinking about your query when I was looking at another thread and I found this, doesn't say if they're in stock though, and doesn't give a price!

Eventually used APR media. ordered discs one day and they arrived the next.

but at just over £9 a go (I bought a box of 10) I'd better not make any coasters!

Will be interesting to see how long it takes for that price to start falling

Don't have a price for Blu-ray but I spoke to Carousel yesterday about other things and they mentioned that Blu-Ray discs were shifting pretty rapidly. No price on the website so you may need to call.
