    How big can a normal Blu-Ray disc can?

    What about HD Dvd Rom or HD Dvd-R?

    burning on bluray aint worth it because most writers are only 2x speed at the most and bluray isn't a standardized format yet

    I don't think any of HP's laptop provides Blu-Ray burners, just Blu-Ray players. They do have HD-DVD burners, which costs 25 dollars more than the Blu-Ray player.
