So, then, how does one go about transferring all of my blu-ray discs to laser disc?
If anyone even has the equipment to do it any more ...
Cheapest way would be to find a company with the equipment for making the discs. The first disc in each run might easily cost about $5,000 or more, but you could then make additional discs for an affordable rate.
The next way would be to buy the equipment to produce a disc. Just a ball park guess -- a couple hundred thousand dollars. You would still need to have the discs made from a master disk you produce. If you want the equipment to produce the final product, figure an additional few hundred thousand dollars.
By the way, we started selling information on CDs for computers years ago. At that time, we priced a CD burner -- $80,000. I suggested that we wait for the burners to drop in price and so for the first year or two, we would send the data on 9 track computer tape to another company who would then produce the CDs. The CDs were pressed, not burned, just like the music CDs you buy at a store. Total cost for a run of a couple hundred CDs at that time was somewhere in the range of $1,000 to $2,000. And we had to do that twice a month every month.
About a year or two later, the price of a CD burner dropped to around $5,000 and so we bought one and start producing our own CDs.
