BlueRay Disc Technology: What Can It Do For You?

By Paul Cameron

Surprisingly, a lot of individuals really don't know the difference between BlueRay disc technology and a regular DVD, even though it is rapidly gaining in popularity. Developed by the top electronic companies in the world, this new data format provides superior recording, writing and playback of data for the average consumer. One of the best uses for a BlueRay disc is storage of data, as it can hold more than even the largest of the standard DVDs.

The technology utilized in DVDs utilizes red colored lasers to read and write data such as video, audio or information. BlueRay technology makes use of blue lasers, though, hence its name. The advantage of using BlueRay disc technology is that it can also work with many CD players and DVD players, or just about any equipment that has the compatible technology to read the discs.

BlueRay disc technology takes advantage of the shorter wavelengths of the blue portion of the light spectrum, allowing the lasers to give more sharply focused pictures than the lengthier red-spectrum lasers used in other technologies. This means that huge space savings are obtained because the data is packed more tightly onto a single disc.

It took many years of research to come up with this amazing BlueRay disc technology. With this leading edge technology you can store five times as much audio, video or music on one BlueRay disc as you can on a DVD. A dual layer DVD can store up to 10 gigabytes of information. However, a double layered BlueRay disc is capable of storing up to 50 gigabytes of data.

Users who switch to BlueRay disc technology will benefit enormously from the enhanced storage capacity. You can store over 20 hours of basic video when using the double-layer BlueRay discs, or just under five hours of high definition data. In fact, you will be able to replace five regular DVDs with just one BlueRay disc.

The BlueRay disc technology has the added advantage of superior audio and video definition, which means you can have the pleasure of highly sophisticated picture and sound delivery. Although the technology may appear somewhat expensive, the quality of visuals and sounds obtained will make you agree that it is worth the money spent.

Currently, BlueRay disc technology is used not only by music companies, but by manufacturers engaged in everything from consumer electronics to personal computers, and recording media to video games. - 2361
