Why
Blu-ray?
Many of you out there
probably wonder why choose Blu-ray? The answer is simply
capacity and content!
Capacity:
A Blu-ray Disc can hold up to 50 gigabytes of data. This compares to about 10
recordable DVDs (or 5 double-layer DVDs), or around 70 recordable CDs. As a
result, Blu-ray Disc is the ideal, cost-effective, removable storage medium for
the storage of large amounts of data and video. By using the appropriate
software or operating support, a Blu-ray Disc can offer the functionality of a
large removable hard disk drive.
Content:
Blu-ray Disc offers HDTV video quality that far surpasses any other medium or
broadcast format available today. With High Definition video with a resolution
of up to 1920x1080 and up to a 54 Mbit/sec bandwidth (roughly double that of a
normal HDTV broadcast), no other format can match Blu-ray Disc's video quality.
Furthermore, due to the overwhelming capacity of a Blu-ray Disc, no tight
compression algorithms that may alter the picture quality are required, as with
other formats that offer less recording space. Depending on the application, Blu-ray
Disc also supports other video formats, including standard definition TV.
