What is a BluRay burner used for?

The Blu-ray Ripper is to copy or compress or collect your own Blu-ray discs. DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper(dvdfab.at/blu-ray-ripper.htm) is a product that I have used over the years and I think it is very good, it does not damage the picture quality when copying and it is very easy to operate.


Why is the Blu-ray Disc coveted over the HD-DVD format?

Actually, Blu-Rays won the battle of the formats when HD content was introduced to discs. HD-DVD was a competing format but when it became apparent that content producers and publishers were supporting Bluray rather than HD-DVD, the latter was soon withdrawn. Technically, there was little different between the quality and data storage capacities of the discs.


What kind of DVD player will play HD DVDs?

To play a high definition DVD, you need a high definition DVD player. There are two types available currently. HD DVD, developed by Toshiba is one and BluRay, developed by Sony is the other. They are not compatible, so an HD DVD will not play on a BluRay player and a BluRay disc will not play on an HD DVD player. BluRay looks like it is the winner in the format war between the two companies over the last years so it is likely that Toshiba's format will disappear in the coming months. Note that HD DVD can refer to the Toshiba format but it can also refer to high definition DVDs in general.

Can you connect your Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD to your standard regular tv?

That is not possible since HD-players use HDMI for connecting to the television. It wouldn't be very useful to connect HD-players to SDTV's, because that way the player has no advantage over a standard DVD player.


How does a 'pot watcher' work the disc that you put at the bottom of a pan to stop it boiling over?

A pot watcher disc it put into the bottom of a pan. It helps to alert the cook to water getting ready to boil over before it happens. The way that it works is as the water begins to bubble the disc is raised. When the cook sees the disc coming to the top, it is a signal that the pot will soon be boiling over.
