While Blu-ray is quite popular, many people still have questions. Here's an introduction to Blu-ray.

Q: What is Blu-ray?

A: Blu-ray is the newest high definition optical disc format. Originally there were two high definition formats-blu-ray and HDDVD, but Blu-ray emerged victorious and HD DVD is no longer being produced.

Blu-ray is better than DVD in many ways. It stores 5.5 more than a DVD (25GB for single layer and 50GB for dual layer). Blu-ray has better audio with eight channels of lossless. It's video is better as well. Its resolution is better than a DVD by six times.

Q: What special equipment will I need?

A: To play a Blue-ray disc you need a Blu-ray player and a television. You won't need a new TV, but if you want to enjoy BD to its full potential, you should have a high definition television. HDTV can come in many resolutions, including 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i. 1080 is the best.

Q: So DVDs are useless?

A: Unlike the switch from VHS to DVD, upgrading to bluray doesn't make your DVD collection worthless. DVDs can still play in blueray players. In fact, they can be upconverted so that they look better than when they are played in a standard DVD player.
