Purpose


The development and widespread use of Blu-ray
discs has taken place in a similar fashion as when
DVDs slowly replaced the use of CDs.
Overview



A typical Blu-ray disc holds about 25GB of
space which equates to more than 5 DVDs
worth of space. Blu-ray discs have also been
designed with the identical size as DVDs and
CDs. It plays Blu-Ray Discs, which make the
image HD and more realistic.
Response







The Blu Ray Technology is catch on immediately.
For many, home movies were originally played on
the classic VCR tape. Then, the technology moved
onto DVD players, and the look of the movies was
sharper and of a much better quality. Now the next
evolution has started with blue ray technology.
How Did Blu Ray Become Successful ?

Its the only format out there
Support of all major companies

Prices will go down
Blu-ray movies can be copied
Blu-ray = more storage

Origins

It was originally invented by Sony.
Blu-Ray began to be released around the year
2000.
The practical blue laser diode was invented by Shuji
Nakamura; it was a big sensation among storage-
medium community in the computers, though a
extensive patent court case delayed its
commercial introduction.

Significance

o It provides Superior Image Analysis What
gives Blu-ray a significant step ahead of
DVD is the higher resolution ability it has
which consequently can give the viewer an
image with more detail.

o Apart from the higher resolution Blu-ray also
utilizes different video-compression methods
meaning that it can give you higher contrast
and fuller colors.
o Besides, it provides Greater Sound
Quality. If you enjoy sound and you like to
be listening to things the exact way they
were meant to be heard according to
the director and the sound engineers of a
movie then Blu-ray technology is for you.

o Moreover you can watch picture-in-
picture.

o It will be Extra Characteristics. Blu-ray comes
with certain features that DVD does not
offer. More specifically it offers you that
ability to enter the menu functions while
watching the movie through a special pop-
up menu.
Development

What changes and improvement have been made to the
inventation

Blue ray have a bigger storage capacity than
normal DVD. A single layer of Blue ray can hold
about 25GB of data while normal DVD only can
hold 4.7GB of data in one layer.
If we use the same amount of storage capacity but
the video we can fit into the Blue ray and normal
DVD is different. For example, if we use 50GB of
storage capacity of each type of disk, Blue ray
need to use 9-hours to fit in high-definition(HD) into
50GB while the normal DVD need about 23-hours to
fit the standard definition(SD) into 50GB.
The Blue ray will not easily face jamming problem
compared to the normal DVD.




How might it be improved in the future
To ensure that the Blue-ray Disc format is
easily extendable (future-proof) it also
includes support for multi-layer discs, which
should allow the storage capacity to be
increased to 100GB-200GB (25GB per layer)
in the future simply by adding more layers to
the discs.
