Why Are Blu-ray Discs Better Than DVDs

DVDs are a genuinely enjoyable way to watch a movie at home, and now that the blank recordable discs are inexpensive they are quickly gaining in popularity for computer data storage too. The basic reason for this is their capacity when compared to a recordable CD. A DVD disc can hold 4.7GB of data while a CD can only hold 750MB. For movie viewing the DVD is now king and while definitely better than the format it replaced, VHS tape; it really is still limited in image quality. The higher resolution formats of HD-DVD and Blu-ray fought for market dominance, and it's obvious now that Blu-ray is the winner.

There are some key differences between Blu-ray and DVD.

DVDs will output at 480p and that is 720x480 pixels. Your average home theater system is capable of displaying at 1080p. This is roughly twice the resolution that DVD is capable of giving you. Lower end TVs can even display a higher resolution than DVD can offer at 720p. Blu-ray can match the quality of your HD-TV with an output of 1080p which ought to provide a far better image. Should you prefer the image from cable, satellite or broadcast TV then you are going to be happier with Blu-ray.

Not only does Blu-ray improve on the image quality of DVD, it improves the sound also. The newest high resolution sound available like Dolby True HD and DTS- Master Audio are virtually the same as "studio" quality. These formats mean that Blu-ray can offer the very best sound experience available to consumers. This sound level might be even a higher quality than your average home theater can genuinely reproduce. Blu-ray discs also offer far more special additional features than the current DVDs. There is no need to stop playback of your Blu-ray disc to gain access to the menus, it will supply access on screen while the movie continues to play. If your player is connected to the web there will often be other unique capabilities available as well.

The biggest current disadvantage for Blu-ray over DVD is price, as both the discs as well as the players are substantially more expensive. With the rapid adoption of Blu-ray this price distinction is rapidly closing and it won't be long before they are on par.
