BlueRay Disc Technology: What Can It Do For You?

By Paul Cameron

Surprisingly, a lot of people really do not 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. The storage capacity of any BlueRay disc is huge compared to the storage space even the largest DVDs can offer, making it an ever more popular choice among consumers.

The technology utilized in DVDs utilizes red colored lasers to read and write data such as video, audio or information. The BlueRay disc technology uses blue colored lasers, however, which is where its name springs from. 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 longer red-spectrum lasers used in other technologies. Since it stores the data more efficiently, there is a lot of space on just one disc.

It required quite a few years of research in order to achieve the truly remarkable 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.

The high-storage capacity of BlueRay disc technology will make it the obvious choice for more and more people. 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 fairly expensive, the quality of visuals and sounds obtained will make you agree that it is worth the money spent.

Ever growing numbers of manufacturers are making use of BlueRay disc technology in a wide assortment of consumer electronics including home computers, recording of media, and video games, not to mention music.
