When
the Blu-ray format was first announced by Sony for the Playstation 3 system many
people did not believe that the format would be successful. Because of the
success of the DVD format and the film industry, many people figured that
Blu-ray was a format that the world did not need and would not have any interest
in. The cheap ray bans Playstation 3
release seemed to prove the skeptics right when the system was released to very
low sales figures.However, Blu-ray has proven that it is a wonderful format for
those looking for a high definition movie and media experience. Blu-ray is now
the king of formats that will provide the best picture quality possible since HD
DVDs are no longer being made. This means that if you have an HDTV like most of
the world then you will need a Blu-ray player in order to get the most out of
your TV. I recently purchased a Blu-ray drive and found that Blu-ray has many
benefits for the PC.Blu-ray format means that you will be provided with amazing
picture quality and this can be great for viewing Blu-ray movies on a PC. A
Blu-ray writer will allow you to duplicate movies in Blu-ray format and enjoy
the high quality experience while sharing I with friends. It will also allow you
to backup your Blu-ray library without having to compress the picture. This
means that you will not be downgrading the picture quality because the use of
the PC makes it possible to duplicate the best possible picture quality. Using
Blu-ray with a PC also means that you will be able to store a huge amount of
data on each Blu-ray disc and this cuts down on the need for large storage
drives and allows you to store family pictures and videos on one disc. Imagine
being able to collect years of memories and put them all on one disc, this is
the benefit of Blu-ray for the PC. You can also write and rewrite on Blu-ray
discs with the use of a Blu-ray burner and this means you will save on media
costs because they can be used again. Blu-ray offers the most storage and best
picture quality for the price. There are many benefits of Blu-ray for the PC and
I suggest that anyone who has never used Blu-ray switch now for the amazing
picture quality and detailed display that Blu-ray offers on a PC.
The
high definition DVD disk is capable of storing 30GB of information even after
using its both sides and on the other hand the storage ability of blu-ray disk
reaches 50GB (25GB per side). The current CD and the DVD tape format use the red
lazer for reading and recording the information onto the disk. Wavelength of DVD
is 650nm and that of the CD disk format is 780nm. Wavelength has been reduced
further in the new disk technology of blu-ray which was introduced by Philips
and Sony. Wavelength of blu-ray is 405 nanometers. The reason to use blue laser
in the blu-ray format is its shorter wavelength. Blu-ray technology is able to
record large volumes of HD sound and videos as well. Color of the lazer used in
blu-ray technology is somewhat blu-violet with wavelength shorter that red
lazer. The most powerful advantage of the blu-ray disc format in comparison to
the normal red lazer is its capability of recording more data volume keeping the
disk sizes same as the CD and DVD disk size. The picture quality is also clearer
with vividness and sharper colors as well. Spot size required by the blue-lazer
is also smaller. Pickup aperture of blue lazer is 0.85 nanometers. Density of
the blu-ray disk is very high that helps to fit 25GB data on each side of bluray
disc making total storage of 50 GB. Blu-ray technology is the optical storage
format’s new future. The advantages and benefits provided by the blu-ray disk
technology are far beyond that of the DVD format. Blu-ray technology supports
large recording capacity (25GB) on same physical size disk as of the DVD disk.
So it makes it 50GB when data is stored on both blu-ray disks’ sides (as 25GB
for each layer). HD video is supported by the blu-ray technology with the help
of modern encoders. Video (1920 x 1080p) is supported with VC-1, ACV and MPEG2
coding schemes. Higher video quality is enabled by the VC1 and ACV with lower
bit-rate in comparison to the common MPEG2 encoder. The latest audio encoders
are supported by the blu-ray disk technology that includes the DTS, Dolby
True-HD, DTS-HD and Dolby Digital (multi channel). These audio encoders on the
blu-ray disk can be utilized for up to eight audio channels (7.1). Enhanced
interactivity (Java based) along with internet connectivity and common menus
(DVD like) are also supported by the blu-ray disc technology. An open platform
is provided by the blu-ray format for the Java written connected and interactive
applications. It is very much clear that at the end of the high definition DVD
and blu-ray disk format war, the optical disk format’s future is the blu-ray
technology. Games can also be played using the blu-ray disk players and are also
capable of supporting the online simple games because of their enough
horsepower. Blu-ray disk format along with more capacity provides new
interactivity level as well. Blu-ray technology provides easy connectivity to
the internet and helps the users in instant downloading of subtitles and other
common features of movies as well. With blu-ray technology the consumers can
record HD-TV without any deterioration in the quality and can skip right away to
any spot on the blu-ray disk. One program can be recorded while another program
is being watched on the disk.
