If you want the best in modern electronic entertainment then you will have no choice
but to take a closer look at what is happening on the Blue Ray front. Until quite recently, DVD technology was ruling the roost but now there is a new kid on the block that has shaken things up and so if you don't want to miss the bus you should learn about major differences between Blue Ray and DVD technologies.
Quantum Leap
If you have been satisfied with using DVDs (and who isn't) then you can ill afford to miss out on the Blue Ray that signifies a quantum leap in optical disc technology. Learning about Blue Ray and DVD technologies can help you make the right decision as to which kind of technology you need to opt for.
The simple fact is that in the not too distant future the Blue Ray technology is going to overleap that of the DVD technology especially when it concerns watching video movies. The difference between Blue Ray and DVD technologies is notable in that the former type of technology revolves around the use of blue/violet colored lasers while the latter is still making do with using red colored lasers.
There are several good reasons why the big electronic giant companies are putting their money into the Blue Ray and not the DVD technology including the fact that blue lasers have shorter wavelengths as compared to the red colored lasers. Besides adding to the precision with which the laser can be focused, Blue Ray technology also means that you get far higher resolutions in HD than is obtainable from a DVD.
In addition, there is difference between Blue Ray DVD and technology in that the former allows for greater storage of data and typically this translates to about five times what the best DVD is able to offer.
Blue Ray and DVD technology are going in different directions with the latter being shunted to the verge of extinction because of the superior storage as well as audio visual capability of the Blue Ray disc and the ones that are most threatened by the Blue Ray disc are movie hall owners who fear that the superior Blue Ray disc will soon make people prefer watching their movies at home and so will forget about going to a movie hall to get top class cinematic entertainment.
And, it is this very fact that points to the fact that the future of Blue Ray disc technology looks very promising though the movie hall theaters are not finding this amusing. People that need high storage capacity media will love the Blue Ray discs and those who want the best in audio and video entertainment too will lap up these blue eyed babes of the future.
