Blu-ray Disc (BD)
BD is a high-density optical disc format for the storage of digital information, including high-definition video. A single-layer BD can store 25 GB, over five times more than a single-layer DVD at 4.7 GB. A dual-layer BD can store 50 GB, almost 6 times more than a dual-layer DVD at 8.5 GB.
Typical uses include the following:
●Storage of large amounts of data
●High-definition video playback
NOTE: Because Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility, and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed.
