BluRay Burner Data (NOT movie)

[anode505]

Is it possible to use a RasPi to burn & read BluRays of data?
I have zero interest in movies, just archiving data files.

Any recommended burners, distros, and programs?

TIA

looks like no one has tried;

BluRay writing should work though as it is working on other Debian systems

and the same tool is available on Raspbian;

Description: DVD+-RW/R recorder
 growisofs is a general purpose DVD recording program that supports:
 .
  * random-access media (DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, plain files, hard disk partitions)
  * mastering multisession DVD media (DVD+R, DVD-R/-RW, and Blu-ray Disc)
  * first-/single-session recording of arbitrary pre-mastered image
    (formatted as UDF, ISO9660 or any other file system, if formatted at
    all) to all supported DVD media types.
 .
 growisofs is able to either write pre-created ISO images or create them
 on-the-fly (by calling genisoimage).
 .
 This package also contains dvd+rw-format, a utility to format a DVD+RW media.

Cool. Thanks!

Just to warn you (if you didn't already know). growisofs is a command line tool. I don't know of a simple GUI interface to it.

However, it is a very good CLI tool and I use it a lot for backups

[anode505]

CLI isn't a prob, since I don't use a GUI in the Pi's and typically ssh into them.

That's the best way to do it
