Blu-ray Disc Features

Blu-ray Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.

Blu-ray Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at 40 Mbit/sec) - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray Disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.

*The following Blu-ray Disc features are disc dependant and will vary.

Appearance and navigation of features will also vary from disc to disc.

Not all discs will have the features described below.

Video highlights

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced video codecs, including AVC, VC-1, and MPEG-2.

HD video resolutions are also available:

-1920 x 1080 HD

-1280 x 720 HD

For High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents in BD discs, an HDTV (High Definition Television) is required. Some discs may require using the player's HDMI OUT to view high-definition content. The ability to view high-definition content on BD discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

HD Video

Menu graphics

Support 256 full color resolution graphics and animation, thereby greatly surpassing the capabilities of DVD-Video. Unlike DVD, Menus can be accessed during video playback.

Menu sounds

When you highlight or select a menu option on a Blu-ray disc, sounds can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice.

Multi-page/PopUp Menus

With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to Blu-ray Disc's ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, a menu may consist of several pages.

You can browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the audio and video remain playing in the background.
