Do Blu-ray discs require a cartridge?
No, the development of new low cost hard-coating technologies has made the cartridge obsolete. Blu-ray instead relies on hard-coating for protection, which when applied makes the discs even more resistant to scratches and fingerprints than today’s DVDs, while still preserving the same look and feel. Blu-ray also adopts a new error correction system which is more robust and efficient than the one used for DVDs.
