Blu-ray: 50 GB of Data Storage in a single disc!
Have you ever thought that you would be storing 50 GB of data on a single disc? Yes, it has become a reality with the Blu-ray Disc which uses a blue-violet laser beam to record data in the disc.
A single layer Blu-ray Disc stores 25GB of data and a double layer Blu-ray Disc can store 50 GB of data in it. This means that is like a portable hard disk. Imagine storing around 50 movies in a single disc!
A host of manufacturers in the consumer electronics field manufacture this Blu-ray Disc. Apple, JVC, LG, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sony, Dell, Hitachi and many others are in this foray to manufacture Blu-ray Disc.
You need Blu-ray Players to play the Blu-ray Discs. These players cost between $400 and $800.
So, what will happen to the existing DVDs that you have? Can you play them in the Blu-ray players? Yes, you can. The Blu-ray players can play the existing DVDs by upscaling them. With that you will get good quality picture with your present DVD collection, if you play them in the Blu-ray Players.
