Blu-ray

Blu-ray true High Definition DVD. Blu-ray and HD-DVD enables a disc the size of a current DVD disc to hold an entire film at HDTV resolution or allow you to record two hours of high definition video content. It is getting closer to become primary media slowly but steadily in the market of home theater. More news titles are being released every day. 2011 will finally be the year when Blu-ray will take the place of DVDs in the mainstream market.
Blu-ray disks are about to get a whole lot bigger. The Blu-ray Disc Association has announced two super-sized new specs for the already capacious disks, letting them squeeze up to 128GB onto a single silver platter. How is this done? The boring, old-fashioned way: layers. There are two new specifications, both with jaw-crunching names: BDXL (High Capacity Recordable and Rewritable disks) and IH-BD (Intra-Hybrid disks).Neither of these new formats will work in your current Blu-ray player, nor should they. It’s pretty clear these generously-sized disks are for storage rather than publishing, although the new machines required to use them will be backward-compatible with existing disks. Still, imagine the movie-extras you could fit on this thing.
