I tried searching on the internet and I could not find the answer to this question; what are the system requirements to burn a blue ray disc, at let’s say 4x speed? There is a relatively new Sony Blue Ray Disc Player, and it says the Processor requirements are a 3.0GHz Pentium IV, but that is to play avchd files, I just want to know what it takes to burn a disc, with let’s say Nero 8. Thank You, Jesse

"What are the minimum system requirements to record or playback Blu-ray?" CPU: Pentium 4 3.0 GHz or faster 512MB RAM or more 30GB free HDD space or more Operating System: Windows XP SP2 Home Edition or Professional IEEE 1394 (i-Link) port ( for HDV camcorder connection) Recommend UXGA (1600 x 1200) resolution computer display http://sony.storagesupport.com/cgi-... Now if you are actually talking about burning or copying a Blu Ray disc vs authoring, the hardware is not so much an obstacle if you think about the legal ramification & copy-protection of the new format. Unfortunately, topics like that are off-limits on this forum. Good luck!

Looks like your computer can do it.

Usually the requirements for burning data to a disk are pretty low. EG; a P2 at 266MHz cant play a DVD but it can burn data to a DVD pretty easily. I assume it would be the same for Blu-ray Mattwizz3 My Super P3 PIII-S @ 1.5GHz 768MB PC133 @ 145MHz 128MB 9550 340/240 Now with a new motherboard and AGP4X!!!

I agree with Mattwizz3. With that CPU, you'd be able to burn data to BD without any difficulty, but watching BD movies would be a different story!
