BD-R and BD-RE
Depends on what you mean by "all formats". A BluRay player will play all commercial DVDs, music CDs, and BluRay DVDs, but may not play some compressed formats like avi, mp3 or mkv files. You need to check the specifications to find out what formats an individual machine will or will not play.
HD DVD and Bluray were competing high definition disc formats. In 2009 HD DVD was withdrawn from sale as it became apparent that Bluray had won the HD disc battle. The two formats are not compatible so HD DVDs can only be played on an HD DVD player.
To burn songs, the CD must writable and be in good physical condition. Only two formats of the writable CD that are commonly used, the CD-R and the CD-RW. Some CD players, especially before 1997 will have problems reading from a CD-RW.
A DVD player cannot play a BluRay disc. A BluRay player can play both BluRay discs and DVDs.
HD DVD and Bluray are both high definition disc formats but they were not only competitive formats but incompatible formats as well. While the battle for the HD market was in progress a handful of players were sold that would support both formats. These players were expensive and very few were ever sold. Unfortunately, HD DVD only players will not play Bluray and Bluray players will not play HD DVD discs. It is still worth keeping HD DVD players as they are the only players capable of HD DVD discs.
Bluray handles all HD formats. As 720p is one of the HD formats, it will play it without a problem. Bluray will also handle 1080i and 1080p formats as well as standard definition. Depending on the set up of the player, the output will be in the format recorded on the disc or it may convert all formats to a single format such as 1080p. As an HD television will also handle any of the formats, it is worth experimenting with the set up to see if 720p discs are displayed better when the player outputs the native format or in a converted format.
A disc that can be written to. For example, a writable CD.
A writable disk is a disk in which you can write (ie., store) data onto. The majority of diskettes are writable, and so are blank CDs and DVDs. Computer hard drives are generally writable as well.
BluRay is the name of a high definition DVD player, developed by Sony. The alternative is HDDVD released by Toshiba at around the same time. In terms of image quality, there is little to choose between them but it is commercial considerations that separate them. BluRay has captured the majority of the market and most of the large distribution companies have opted to support BluRay rather than HD DVD. The battle between the two formats looks to have been won by BluRay and Toshiba are reluctantly admitting that HD DVD will give way to Sony's product. While HD DVD is not quite dead yet, opinions within the trade suggest that HD DVD will not be around for a great deal longer. Both formats will play standard definition DVDs so they will replace existing DVD players.
Someone at Sony invented the BluRay concept. It was introduced in 2001. The first Blu Ray players were initially marketed by Sony in two thousand and six.
Burning a disk means to write data onto it. By looking at the categories you have assigned, you are looking to "burn" or put songs onto a disk. Be aware there are two results: a "data" disk you can only play in a computer, an Audio CD you can also play in a CD player.
