I’ve been putting Upscales of Deep Space Nine and Voyager on Blu-ray. I am almost done with Deep Space Nine, and I put them on Dual Layer discs, and I get 4-5 episodes per disc, 3hrs and 45 minutes with an average of 20mb/s bitrate. Each Season comes out to 6 discs. not too shabby.

Here is the issue, each Dual Layer Blu-ray Disc averages at $1.70 per disc. No matter what brand I look at, they are around $1.70 a disc. Single Layer discs average out at 40 cents a disc, get a similar bitrate with 2-3 episodes.

Is it worth going with dual layers for Box sets aside from reducing disc swapping? Going Single layer would only increase disc count to 9 discs a season rather than 6. What are some of the benefits of doing dual layer?

Hey, I was actually a user on here a long time ago, around the time RoTS came out. I remember when the 2006 DVDs came out and everyone was ecstatic.

Now it’s 2025 and my preferred way to watch the OT is 4K77, even though I don’t have a 4K TV.

I have been doing my own restorations, trying to piece together high quality sources and upscaling them when need be.

I have a few projects finished, I upscaled the Original Western Dub of Sailor Moon from 1995. Despite it’s issues, it’s something that was worthy of preserving simply because of it’s place in history. I have also upscaled and the 1997 Parasite Eve movie, based on the book that inspired the PS1 game.
