BD-ROM Disc Features

BD-ROM 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.

BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.

The following BD-ROM disc features are disc dependent and will vary.

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

Not all discs will have the features described below.

BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and DVD (or CD) layers on one side. On such discs, BD-ROM layer will be only played back in this player.

Video highlights

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced video codecs, including MPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1. HD video resolutions are also available:

1920 x 1080 HD

1280 x 720 HD

For High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs, an HDTV is required. Some discs may require HDMI OUT for viewing of high-definition contents. Ability to view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

Graphic planes

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphic planes (layers) are available, on top of the HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video- related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is assigned to interactive graphic elements, such as buttons or menus.

For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available.

Menu sounds

When you highlight or select a menu option, 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 BD-ROM disc’s ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, a menu can 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.

Interactivity

Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated menus and/or trivia games.

User Browsable Slideshows

With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through vari- ous still pictures while the audio remains playing.

Subtitles

Depending on what is contained on the BD-ROM disc, you may be able to select different font styles, sizes and colors for some subtitles. Subtitles may also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out.
