Samsung announced their BD-R1000 will ship sometime this month (in Japan). This marks the first major rollout of a Blu-ray product, from a company other than Sony. The BD-R1000 includes both ATSC digital and NTSC analog recording and playback. Samsung states a recording time of 2 hours in HDTV quality or 12 hours in SD quality.

One key feature of Samsungs BD-R1000 recorder is the ability to record and playback all BD, DVD and CD formats with a single disc pickup.
