Reasons Why You Should Try Blu-ray Discs

Author: Michael Zeet

Happy St Patrick\'s Day

People have always recognized the need for file transfers by
means of discs. Although flash drives are now available for
people to freely share their multimedia data and files, discs
are still considered to be highly preferred because of its
flexibility. Discs can be used in all types of medium. You can
play it on a component, a CD player, or on a laptop or desktop
computer so that you can finally see what's inside of it. Discs
also provide a safer way to store data. One can safely store
data on a disc without having to worry about it being erased.
Unless duly authorized, data on discs will stay as they are
recorded.

But this is not reason enough for people to celebrate. At
present, discs are taken up further with the introduction of
blu-ray covers eventually brought about by blu-ray technology.
Blu-ray discs are deemed as the new and upgraded version of
DVDs. It boasts of a greater capacity when it comes to storing
valuable data. It now has better capacity when it comes to
recording information with its 25 GB memory capacity for each
layer. Dual blu-ray covers can even hold as much as a whopping
50 GB of information in all. And this is not the only capacity
of blu-ray discs because it can be expounded further into
multi-layers thus amounting to a maximum of 200 GB memory
capacity. This is actually the main feature which sets blu-ray
discs apart from the competition. It can be used and flexibly
fitted in with additional layers for extended memory usage.

When it comes to speed, blu-ray discs will also be leaders in
their own right. Whether packed inside the player to read or for
writing on files, blu-ray discs has a speed of reading 36
megabytes per second which is still notched on a 1x speed. The
elevated system of numerical aperture found in blu-ray discs in
also expected to enable it to function way better in terms of
recording and speed of rotation. Moreover, blu-ray discs also
see no need in using cartridges or jacket casings which are used
to protect the usual type of discs. Due to its hard coating,
blu-ray discs are made more resistant to unwanted fingerprints
and scratches which are believed to damage the quality of the
stored data.

In addition, blu-ray discs can also be played even without the
aid of an internet connection. Anybody can pretty much treat it
like a regular type of disc in terms of playback conditions. One
will only need to use an internet connection in playing blu-ray
discs is there are certain features available online or for
upgrade purposes. But in any other case, blu-ray discs can be
played and recorded on comfortably without having to use an
internet connection.

And of course, blu-ray discs are also deemed more useful because
it is set to follow suit under a mandatory managed copy format.
In effect, consumers will eventually be able to produce legal
copies of bu-ray films to be transferred via their home network.
Because it is a mandatory feature, all movies will be subject to
such feature.
