Blu-ray players offer the best-quality sound and picture for home theater systems. While the DVD and Blu-ray are both compatible with Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio, the way the discs are encoded makes the sound quality on a Blu-ray disc better than DVD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Storage capacity:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Current DVDs employ a 650-nanometer red laser and have a recording capacity of 4.7 Gbytes. The Blu-ray Disc&#8217;s 405-nm blue-violet laser enables the recording and rewriting of up to 27 Gbytes of data. It can hold 13 hours of video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although Blu-ray can&#8217;t quite fit an entire series of HD-quality material on one disc, it could potentially fit an entire series of standard DVD quality stuff on one. That&#8217;s pretty good, considering the storage savings alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Backwards compatibility<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Allow users to both read and write on CDs, DVDs, and, obviously, Blu-ray discs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Piracy protection<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">DRM is the copyright protection scheme the media industry uses to prevent piracy, and the Blu-ray&#8217;s technology in this realm is actually quite exciting. Hollywood wanted a new DRM system that would be more secure than the failed <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Content_Scramble_System\">Content Scramble System<\/a> (CSS) used on DVDs. The possibility exists for users to copy the content of a disc a limited number of times, similar to Apple&#8217;s iTunes system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A lot of<\/strong> <strong>Space for features:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Because it has bigger space, you can put commentaries, full-length director&#8217;s cuts, and a barrage of &#8220;the making of&#8221; documentaries all on a single disc. These are the kind of stuff people want and these are the kind of stuff which cannot download online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Price: <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A study performed by Home Media Magazine (August 5, 2007) concluded that HD DVD discs and Blu-ray discs are essentially equal in production cost. Quotes from several disc manufacturers for 25,000 units of HD DVDs and Blu-rays revealed a price differential of only 5-10 cents. (Lowest price: 90 cents versus 100 cents. Highest price: $1.45 versus $1.50.) Another study performed by Wesley Tech (February 9, 2007) arrived at a similar conclusion. Quotes for 10,000 discs show that a 15 gigabyte HD DVD costs $11,500 total, and 25 gigabyte Blu-ray or a 30 gigabyte HD DVD costs $13,000 total.For larger quantities of 100,000 units, the 30 gigabyte HD DVD was more expensive than the 25 gigabyte Blu-ray ($1.55 versus $1.49) [Wikipedia]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sources:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/wired\/archive\/10.06\/start.html?pg=15\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wired<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blu-ray_Disc\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wikipedia<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Technabob<\/span><br \/>\n_______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unified Manufacturing<\/strong>\u00a0is an L.A. -based one-stop-shop that offers very affordable CD\/DVD\/USB replication, custom printing, promotional products, warehousing and fulfillment and many more.
