Are Blu-ray movies longer than DVD?

Is Blu-ray Disk is optical disk?

Yes, a Blu-Ray device is an optical reader.

CD's, DVD's, and Blu-Rays are called Optical Devices because the reader looks at the disks using light. The light is a laser.

Just like a DVD, a Blu-Ray uses a laser beam to light up and read the information on the disk. This is like an old record needle running along a record groove and reading the information. However, the laser used by CD's, DVD's and Blu-Rays does not touch the disk. It just lights it up.

The difference between DVD's and Blu-Rays is the colour of laser. DVD's use a red laser light, Blu-Rays use one that is blue. Different coloured laser beams read different sizes. Writing and reading on a DVD with a red laser beam is like using a crayon, a blue beam is like a sharp pencil. The Blu-Ray is an optical device, just like a DVD, but because it uses a "finer pencil" it can put more information onto the disk.

8 GB holds how many songs?

I depends on how big each song is.

So ill make a best guess.

Lets say each of your songs is average quality and is 4 minutes, the song would be around 3.7 mb give or take a bit.

A gigabit is 1024 megabits, so 32 x 1024 = 32768 Megabits. So 32768/3.7 roughly 8856 songs.

So 32 GB can hold about 8856 songs of average quality stereo sound (4min)

    • Single-sided, one layer discs with a capacity of 4.7 GB
    • Double-sided one layer discs with a capacity of 9.4 GB

  • DVD-RAM 26: 2.6 GB (Single sided)
  • DVD-RAM 52: 5.2 GB (Double sided)

Also note that these discs are common in cartridge based media for camcorders and such. There are additional storage capacities related to these.

How is data written to a DVD?

CD & DVD work in practically the same manner. Both store data as a series of reflective marks on the surface of the disc. The thin plastic or metal foil layer of the disc gets hit by the laser beam of the writing drive. The laser energy thus produced creates tiny bumps in a spiral pattern similar to that of a long-playing album.
