Intel x25-V

I'm not sure if I understood your question but If you want a SSD for streams or physical encode or decode, first you need to know much much MB/s these formats require.

For users recording digital television programming, the recordable Blu-ray Disc standard's initial data rate of 36 Mbit/s is more than adequate to record high-definition broadcasts from any source (IPTV, cable/satellite, or terrestrial). BD Video movies have a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbit/s, a maximum AV bitrate of 48 Mbit/s (for both audio and video data), and a maximum video bit rate of 40 Mbit/s. This compares to HD DVD movies, which have a maximum data transfer rate of 36 Mbit/s, a maximum AV bitrate of 30.24 Mbit/s, and a maximum video bitrate of 29.4 Mbit/s.

This quote above illustrates the Blu-ray which uses far more resources than other products alike.The Intel X25-V will do just fine.

Yeah I'm pretty sure BR is usually higher bitrate than even HD DVB content.
I'm sure both SSD's could handle multiple streams of a similar bitrate whilst doing other things, but which would be optimal is still a tricky question.
I guess in most usage scenarios the differecne are unlikely to show up

I would go Intel, reason 'reliability', never had any problems with Intel products.
