    I have windows 7 sp1 iso (3.84GB) which i want to burn to a bluray for faster reads.....
    now naturally bluray will be faster than dvd....
    but what i want is to write this 3.84 GB at the outer edge of bluray to get the maximum speed possible on bluray......
    what do you guys suggest?????
    For comparison,
    i can copy whole windows to hard drive
    -From DVD in 9min 30sec
    -From USB in 2min 36sec
    -From bluray 6min 00sec (tops at 12MB/s ,while i can gain upto 27MB/s if i manage to put it at outer edge i believe)

    Update: Well i created a dummy iso (19GB) put it in a folder named "a" (assuming nero will write it first alphabetically) and added it to windows 7 iso and burned it on bluray but no gain.... windows contents still take same time to copy maxing out at 12MB/s but that damn ISO copies at 20+MB/s.....

    Update 2: Found out an option in UlraISO, u can change the priority of files before burning ranging from 0-9, file set at priority 9 should be burned near the center and then low priority files and so on... Tried this and set "a" folder priority to 9 (assuming UltraISO write it first and then remaining contents) and burned it on bluray but results are still same. :(

    Never suggest headsets (Why do people keep doing this?) to someone that asks you about speakers. That said, you can always offer other alternatives once the original question has been addressed.

    "naturally bluray will be faster than dvd". yes? how so? both are not storage that is designed to be fast (their main goal is to deliver the data that's stored on in the time it takes to watch the movie.. nothing fast there).

    want fast: usb stick or external harddrive. want to waste quite some money? burn on bluray. want to do the smart thing that is not usb: burn a dvd.

    That 12X is burning speed not playback speed.

    Hmm, the last time I checked the movie business was a multi-billion dollar industry, and half of that revenue was generated via disc sales.

    It might be wise for you to keep that in mind the next time you portend the early death of optical discs.

    Haven't you been reading the threads? Many member on this site have all but announced the death of optical discs. I am one of the few proponents that maintain there is still many viable uses for optical discs. The least of which is to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket.

    Can you imagine what would happen if we all depended solely on cloud based data? Do you really feel that it's that reliable, safe and secure?
