Of course you are correct. CD-r, not DVD-r. Both are now really old formats, but it was the size limit of CD that I was thinking of. I don't know why I thought it was 750.

Optical disc media ended up determining the size of rips. DVD Rips were either single CD (~700 MB) or CD1 and CD2 (up to 1400 MB). 720p blu-ray rips were a little more than 4 GB to fit on a single layer DVD-R, while 1080p rips were a bit over 8 GB to fit on a dual-layer disc. These days it's almost all big hard drives with flash drives as the portable media instead of optical discs. That's why more recent rips are 10 or even 12 GB. They've stopped trying to make them burnable.

I think, it was about ten years ago, when I burned my last CD or DVD.

Nowerdays all my movies are stored on a 12 TB NAS connected via WLAN.

I've just got a few big HD in my PC (where each time I go shopping the next one is always about double the size of the last!) and 2TB of portable drive that I occasionally update for playing films through the cool WDHD media player to a TV. It can play 1080p, level 4.1 mkv and pass thru 5.1 DTS / DD, mp3, and most everything except OGG! That's my backup! Not the most secure!

i hope of new better quality version blu ray
