I meant to question doing everything but just playing the files straight from a computer in their original form if all you want to do is watch them. Going to extremes to burn discs when you don’t have the equipment to create or view the discs or spending hours of frustration trying to make something play on hardware not intended to play files like these, and God knows what cost to quality, is what I question if other options are not also considered first.

To be clear, I’m a big fan of media I can hold in my hand, not ethereal bits floating around God knows where. If the DeEd project ever settles on versions and especially has an official BD structure with menus and everything, I’m all over burning it and archiving it unaltered. There’s every reason to burn these to disc if that’s something you’re into. Personally, while the DeEd versions are in flux, I’ve found it best for me to stay up to date by playing the files directly, rather than burning works in progress and wasting BD media as they update. As things stand now with the project, unless there are specific playback requirements (consistency across different hardware, gifts to people, playing it at random locations/events), I don’t see burning discs as the best first option. We’ll get there before long, but I just don’t see it that way yet.

I didn’t mean to come off as blasting the idea of writable/archival media in general.
