Best Blu Ray Media Brands Part 5: Kodak Media/ Discs Review

The Kodak Blu Ray media we found and surveyed was limited to BD-R only (no 50GB DL discs, no BD-RE rewritables). It had a 100% rating from 4 original user reviews, which we compounded to its 83% media manufacturer rating with a 75%-25% ratio, according to our standard Blu Ray media process. To create our predictive quality rating for Kodak Blu Ray media, we added an equivalent of 10 user reviews with the branded DVD media rating of 67%. Because of the low number of user reviews, we lowered the resulting rating by 14%, in order to obtain a margin of error (with 95% certainty) of less than 5% downwards. Kodak's resulting rating is 58%, the lowest predictive quality rating in the Blu Ray media market. As user reviews accumulate and the statistical margin of error decreases, this rating should go up by 10% to 20%.
Conclusions
- Kodak's Blu Ray media predictive quality rating is 58%, second lowest of all Blu Ray media.
- Kodak's quality rating should trend up as more user reviews appear.
- Kodak's DVD media have the lowest rating in DVD market. There is no reason to believe that its Blue Ray media will be significantly better.
- Kodak's outsourced media is not of archival quality, and we feel that there are better choices for the same cost.
- we do not recommend Kodak Blu Ray media for any use at this time.
