Hey Frank!
Glad to see you're using "2 blue rays for each p2 card". I'll give you my warning about blue rays. We use(d) them to archive after effects projects in the past. About a half a year ago I went to restore an old job (by old I mean about 14 months) and I got many file unreadable errors from the blue ray as I tried putting it back on a drive. Looking at the data side of the disc there were seemingly no scratches or any physical problem. I also tried it in multiple blue ray drives. No go, there were files from the archive that are lost forever.
Now maybe I got the one disk in a million thats flawed, but it frightened me enough that I am not using them anymore (which is another reason why I need to find a good archival solution).
