Blu-Ray discs can hold much more information than a DVD and thus they have better picture quality. This is due to the fact that they use a blue laser which has a narrower wavelength and thus they can make the pits on the disc smaller.

Are Blu-ray movies longer than DVD?

CDs and DVDs share the same physical format but the DVD stores more data that a CD. It does this a much finer set of optical tracks on the disc than the CD has. In a similar way, Bluray discs hold far more data than a DVD.
How much storage on Blu-ray?

Can you play a Blu-ray player on a regular tv?
Yes you can. Virtually all Bluray players have an analog output which is standard definition. This can be connected to the video input of any television and you will see a standard definition image from a Bluray disc. The quality won't be as good as is on the disc of course but at least the disc will play. It is normally possible to set up the HDMI connector to output a standard definition signal. This is probably not of much use as almost all televisions that have HDMI inputs will also accept high definition signals. It might also be worth pointing out that standard DVDs will also play on a Bluray player. Using the analog output from the player with a standard DVD playing will give the same quality of image as any standard DVD player.
What is the difference between bluray and DVD?
While they are physically very similar (thin metal layer encased in plastic); the primary difference is in the data storage encoded onto the disc. A BluRay disc is designed to hold a much larger amount of data storage in comparison to a DVD. Technically speaking even a CD is essentially the same physical concept, thin metal information disc protected by a layer of plastic. Each generation of disc encoding has resulted in around 5 to 10 times more data storage. Much like how DVDs are 5 to 10 times more storage than CD's, Blu Rays (and their now deceased cousin the HD-DVD) offer 5 to 10 times more storage capacity than DVDs. (the 5 to 10 times depends on whether a single layer or a dual layer is used) For movies of course this higher amount of data storage means that clearer pictures are achievable. In order to display higher definition images a larger number of pixels must be generated for every frame of the film, which greatly increases the size of the data file required to store the film.
Is Baskets coming back?
No, not back to Funimation, but you can buy episodes on iTunes, and you can watch episodes in parts ~ english dubbed, or you can buy dvds from bookstores. My library also has the dvds. But the manga is much better in my opinion.
