What are the key advantages of Blu-ray Disc?
Capacity Blu-ray holds 25GB on a single-layer disc or 50GB on a dual-layered disc (5x that of DVD). There is also support for multi-layer discs, which should allow for storage capacity to be increased in the future by adding more layers to discs. Picture Quality Blu-ray delivers content in full high definition resolution (1920x1080p) – 6x the picture resolution of DVD. Sound Quality Blu-ray offers the best audio possible with up to 7.1 channels of surround sound (equal to or sometimes better than the sound heard in theaters). Interactivity Blu-ray utilizes Java-based menu software. This allows for improved interactive features such as seamless menu navigation, exciting new bonus features and network connectivity (BD-Live). Durability Blu-ray offers the strongest resistance to scratches and fingerprints due to a breakthrough in hard-coating technologies.
