Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD), is the name of a next-generation
optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association
(BDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal
computer and media manufacturers (including Apple, Dell, Hitachi,
HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung,
Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson). The format was developed to enable
recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD),
as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more
than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can
hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer
disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video
and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD experience.
