Blu-Ray discs, the latest DVD version has triggered several queries in our mind like how the devices are different from regular DVDs or whether we need a special player to run the disc format. Let’s find what tech support specialists explain.

Blu-Ray, as the name suggests, works on blue-violet laser to store data on the disc. This next generation disc format is no doubt the most advanced version of DVD discs that can hold a huge amount of data specially formatted for HD video. This optical disc format has been developed by a group of computer support experts and consumer electronics system manufacturers.

As compared to traditional DVD or HD DVD, a standard Blu-Ray disc can store significantly greater amount of data; a dual layer can hold data up to 45 to 50 GB. Even more- development process is heading towards 100 GB and 200 GB storage capacities!

This next generation technology is poised to change the digital world. Needless to say, such larger storage capacity can bring a lot benefit to the user. Also, Blu-Ray technology will change the way we watch movies in high definition format significantly. Another advantage of using Blu-Ray enabled disc players is that it enables MPEG-2 Transport System and 36Mbps data transfer rate in your existing system structure. They are expected to become economical as the production process will increase.
