Blu-Ray - the Best HD Movie Watching Experience

Blu-Ray is the newest technology for optical discs, and is likely to replace the previous broadly used technologies such as DVD, DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD-RW. It was jointly developed by top consumer electronics and media companies (including Dell, Apple, HP, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Samsung etc) and the Blu-Ray Disc Association. The primary goal was to record, rewrite and playback high-definition motion pictures, while also rising storage capacity.

Blu-rays use a different type of technology than previous disc formats. DVDs and the like use red-laser technology to read and write data, while this new format leans on blue-violet laser - hence the name of Blu-Ray, often misspelled as Blue-Ray. The primary advantage that this blue-violet laser offers is that the laser spot is more focused. This allows for tighter packaging of data, thus increasing the amount of data that can be stored.

The primary competitors of Blu-Rays are HD DVDs. However, these last ones can only store 15 GB of data, while Blu-Ray disc can store up to 25 GB. With the development of 3D movies, Blu-Rays are bound to become more popular. You can write an entire 3D movie at full 1080p resolution on a single Blu-Ray disc. A good player can then pump the data to your television screen without any problems.

Other features that Blu-Ray can provide include superior interconnectivity, thus allowing for more complex games or educational materials, as well as more sophisticated video options. For instance, you can have picture-in-picture viewing for behind-the-scenes or comments during movies. You can also access the menu while watching the movie. Also, many Blu-rays have an archived version of the movie that you can put on your iPod or other portable device. Another new feature is BD-Live. If you connect your Blu-Ray Player to the Internet, you can use it to access movie debates, forums and other interactive content. Disney has announced they will include BD-Live on most upcoming movies.

Blu-Rays were launched in 2006, and to this point they have accomplished a market penetration of about 10%. In the near future, Blu-Ray is very likely to become the standard technology for HD TVs and home theater. Because of their increased storage capacity, movies stored on Blu-Ray discs can provide better picture and sound quality. Though they are still more expensive than HD DVDs, this is probably going to change in the future, making them the most practical choice for home entertainment.

Blu-Ray is the next step in home entertainment. A few of this year's popular movies available in Blu-Ray include Avatar, Lost - complete series, Sherlock Holmes, Africa's Lost Eden, Alice in Wonderland, Zombieland and The Princess and the Frog. Most of the upcoming titles on Blu-Ray are family and kid's movies. So get yourself some 3D glasses and spend some fun family time watching the latest and best movies on Blu-Ray!
