Blu-ray Disc Features
Blu-ray Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB
(dual layer) on a single sided disc - about 5 to 10
times the capacity of a DVD.
Blu-ray Discs also support the highest quality HD
video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at
40 Mbit/sec) - Large capacity means no compromise
on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray Disc has the
same familiar size and look as DVD.
* The following Blu-ray Disc features are disc
dependant and will vary.
Appearance and navigation of features will also vary
from disc to disc.
Not all discs will have the features described below.
Video highlights
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports
three highly advanced video codecs, including
MPEG-2.
HD video resolutions are also available:
- 1920 x 1080 HD

For High-Definition Playback
