I do mostly custom sizes. I like to make them as close to 23.2gb as possible. Sometimes I do BD-9, those are mostly for my HD-DVD to Blu-ray conversions. Most of the HD-DVD's I've done are a little over 10gb so it seems kinda dumb to use a BD-25 disc.

I made a few BD-9 disks, and one BD-5 disk just to experiment a bit and compare results, but I've switched to BD25 now.
Finding blank BD-R 25gb disks for a reasonable price has been a problem, but now have a fair supply. -

I don't have a BD Writer so I've only experimented with BD-5 (on DVD media). The 3 discs I practiced with are older (Walmart specials) cheaply packaged BD movies in original mpeg2 source of about 17gb each. The output really looks good until you get a dark scene and then you can see patchy discoloration in the black. I've compressed a couple to BD-9 size but haven't written them to disc yet. I don't know if the same issues will show up with the dark areas. I'm still pretty green with these tools so that's why I've stuck with cheap DVD-5 discs so far.
There's not much to do but then I can't do much anyway. -

Even with a quad core, it takes too much time to waste encoding, just to have a player not recognize the disk. -
My standalone BD player spits out any BD's burned onto dvd-r's, so Im now sourcing BD-R media for around the $3~$4 mark. The BD9 I trial burned onto a BD-RE looked and played great, its just a shame my player hates 'em.

It was only when profit margins were cut to the bone that their quality control went to the crapper. -
Like one poster said please don't hi-jack the thread,it's not about media quality.
