FORMAT OF BD It comes in four different formats : BD-ROM (read only) : for reading recorded content. BD-R (recordable) : for PC data storage. BD-RW (rewritable) : for PC data storage. BD-RE (rewritable) : for HDTV (high definition television) recording.

It comes in four different formats :

BD-ROM (read only) : for reading recorded content.

BD-R (recordable) : for PC data storage.

BD-RW (rewritable) : for PC data storage.

BD-RE (rewritable) : for HDTV (high definition television) recording.

TYPES OF BD: SINGLE LAYER : Can hold data up to 25/27 GB that means 2 hrs of HD video or about 13 hrs of standard video. DOUBLE LAYER : Can hold data up to 50 GB that means 4.5 hrs of HD video or more than 20 hrs of standard video.

SINGLE LAYER :

Can hold data up to 25/27 GB that means 2 hrs of HD video or about 13 hrs of standard video.

DOUBLE LAYER :

Can hold data up to 50 GB that means 4.5 hrs of HD video or more than 20 hrs of standard video.

THE TECHNOLOGY Pits : spiral grooves that run from the centre of the disc to its edges Bumps : other sides of these edges. Track pitch : it is the distance between the two tracks (of pits) on the surface. -------------------------------- Disc store digitally encoded data in PITS. --------------------------------

THE NAME The blu-ray name is a combination of “blue”, for the color of the laser that is used and “ray” for optical ray. The “e” in “blue” was purposefully left off, according to the manufacturers, because an everyday word cannot be a trademark.
