Why Is The Blue Ray Disc So Superior?
Blue ray Disc is the name of the next generation optical disc format. This new format offers over 5 times more storage capacity than DVDs. A single-layer disc can hold up to 25GB, and a dual-layer disc can hold up to 50 GB. The result of this extra storage capacity results in amazing HD experience, and blue ray dics can hold and play back large quantities of high definition video, audio, photos, and data. The new format uses a blue-violet laser to read and write the data. Even though different lasers are used to read the data, blue ray products can be made backwards compatible with CDs and DVDs by using a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical pickup unit.
