Blu-Ray Discs (BDs) are the next-generation optical disc
format and are fast replacing the DVD and the HD DVD
formats. BDs have a significant increase in storage
capacity than DVDs and HD DVDs because of its use of a
blue-violet laser instead of the red laser that DVDs
utilize. The shorter wavelength of this blue-violet laser
makes writing digital information on discs more precise in
such that more information can be stored in the disc. The
single-layer Blu-Ray Disc can hold 27 GB (gigabytes) of
information while a double-layered Blu-Ray disc can
accommodate up to 50 GB.
The increase in the storage capacity makes it possible for
BDs to hold High Definition Movies which normally take up a
lot of storage space. Blu-Ray technology enables the full
support of 720p, 1080i and 1080p High Definition videos.
BDs can also be used to store high-fidelity audio files
which also take up a lot of storage space. Using Blu-Ray
technology also makes it possible for 7.1 channel audio
mastering with lossless DTS HD and Dolby True HD audio
formats.
When videos and audios are in High Definition (HD) formats,
they have increased clarity and fidelity. Watching HD
videos is like watching a movie inside a movie house. The
increased fidelity of the sound when played in a 5.1
surround sound system makes watching movies at home more
pleasurable. Because of this, more and more people are
beginning to switch to Blu-Ray technology. This is a fact
made evident by a February 1, 2008 article that shows that
Blu-Ray movie titles hold an 80 percent market share for
the month of January.
So far, there are a total of 500 High Definition movie
titles that are available in the Blu-Ray format. Major
movie studios like Warner have publicly announced that all
their High Definition movies starting May 2008 will be
released only on Blu-Ray Discs.
Blu-Ray movie titles are more popular than its competition,
the HD DVD (High-Definition DVD) as shown by 80 percent of
HD movie buyers. The popularity of BD movies may be
attributed to the increased clarity of the movies and may
also be attributed to the Blu-Ray cover arts that are
included when you buy these BD titles.
Blu-Ray covers are the cover art that represents the movie
being purchased. The cover art shown on the Blu-Ray covers
are responsible for attracting a customer to buy the movie.
Blu-Ray covers usually have the movie title in the front
with a cover art that is related to the movie. The front
cover may include a collage of the scenes of the movie
along with images of the stars in action. The front cover
is designed for the purpose of attracting a potential buyer
and making that buyer want to watch the movie. The back
cover of the Blu-ray cover consists mostly of the summary
of the movie as well as information about the casts and
crew of the movie. Blu-Ray covers along with Blu-Ray
technology has truly revolutionized the movie industry.
