Blu-Rays were designed only for High Definition TVs and since the higher the quality, the more storage, so a Blu-Ray can hold up to a maximum of 50 GB of data and that is 5 times more data than a DVD can hold at maximum

Is blu ray better than other DVD players?

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.

What is better Blu-ray or HD?

Bluray and HD DVD are the two trade names for high definition discs and players. Bluray is by far the better choice for the simple reason that HD DVD was withdrawn in 2009. Bluray had won the HD format war so HD DVD quietly left the stores. There are a number of HD DVD discs around as well as the players. As the two systems are in-compatible, don't trash your HD DVD player just yet. It will still do a do job of playing the HD DVD discs you still have.


What methods are there to transfer Hi8 Film to computer and which one offers the best quality?

Transferring Hi8 Film to DVD or BluRay typically involves capturing the video from the camcorder rather than simply copying the video files off the camcorder. This immediately entails a loss of quality, much like photocopying a photocopy, but is actually much worse due to subsequent transcoding and compression. The best quality will be achieved with a frame-accurate capture with no compression, but this will require a vast amount of data storage in real-time. However, transcoding to DVD or BluRay will probably incur a loss of quality anyway (particularly DVD), so capturing in a native DVD or BluRay format might produce better results. Best solution is to try it on a short sample of the movie and compare the results. There are also plenty of tutorials and forums on the Internet that will help with more specific issues.

Does a Blu-ray player improve TV picture quailty?

No, they don't. Bluray players are capable of playing HD video content which is better quality than standard definition video.
