Blu-ray is a name for a optical disc standard which uses blue-violet laser instead of red laser used in CDs and in DVDs. This allows manufacturers to store more data using the same amount of disc surface.
One Blu-Ray disc will hold appx. 27GB of data (compared to 4.36GB on regular DVD) on one side/layer of the disc.
Video will be stored using either MPEG-2 technology or newer MPEG-4/AVC in much higher bitrate than what a regular DVD-Video disc uses. Blu-ray supports video resulutions up to 1080p.
more of a question then commment...if technology gets more in depth doesnt then pirating become more of a pain? w/ this blu-ray format it will be much hard to copy movies that will be universal (from dvd to playstation to computer) not so sure if this whole thing is a really grand idea any other thoughts or maybe more educated answers?
