Because it is a higher quality picture and has more pixels and that's why you need a 1080p tv to play them.
Not only is it in high definition, Blu-Ray allows you to explore the bonus material WHILE watching the movie and they can hold up to 50 GB of data, which is 5 times more than a DVD can hold.
The Xbox 360 is not Bluray yet
DVD burners are not compatible with blue-ray disks. Only a Bluray drive is capable of handling Bluray discs.The term BlueRay is derived from the actual wavelength of the laser that is used in the burning process. This laser emits a Blue color as opposed to the lasers previous which use a laser in a wavelength that emits a red color. The actual Blue ray lasers are much finer ( like comparing a pencil tip to a needle tip) therefor the information written to disc is much more compact and as a result a normal laser can not read information written with a blue ray burner.
Bluray is the development of Sony. It was produced to support HD video and must be considered more of a development than an invention. There are numerous technologies that went into the format and each was developed or enhanced by different teams of engineers. The Bluray system includes the manufacturing process for the discs, data encoding, laser specification and more.
When projected, as the size of the screen increases, the Blue-Ray quality decreases. IMAX was made for large scale theaters anyway, so it would be better to show IMAX on a large screen.
Bluray is the disc format developed by Sony for HD video content. It is not a television format and only refers to the storage medium. All Bluray disc players need a display and it may be plasma, LDC or LED based. It is therefore impossible to compare Bluray to types of TV.
A 2 Disc DVD movie can fit on a single Blu-Ray Disc and be in HD which is more GB. The length of a Movie remains the same, but the Blu-ray has more room to add extras besides the movie.
Current 3D content is available on broadcast channels and on Bluray discs. The content is HD regardless of the source so there will be no discernible difference between Bluray and broadcast 3D signals.
A Bluray disc stores five times more data than a DVD. Therefore, a DVD will not have the capacity to store the contents of a Bluray disc.
Laser rays are many light rays focused into a single light ray. That ray is a laser ray. The more lights rays focused into a single ray, the more powerful the laser ray.
Yes, BluRay DVD players also play non Blu-Ray DVDs with no problem.
Computers can only play Blu-Ray discs if their optical drive is a Bluray drive rather than a DVD.
Yes they are. They all play DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.Yes they do. They need to be connected to the HDTV with 1080P and a HDMI cable for the Bluray to work as a Blue ray disc player
