• Blu-ray Disc for Movie Distribution
Most people know about Blu-ray Disc's basic features: It can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer)
on a single sided disc
- about 5 to 10 times the capacity of DVD. As a result, Blu-ray Disc supports 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, allowing for compatibility with existing discs.
• Compatibility across full family
Blu-ray Disc Rewritable (BD-RE) and related video specifications were first defined in 2003. The Blu-ray Disc
ROM format for movie distribution is fully based on this specification when it was defined in 2004. As a result,
users can play home-recorded discs on all of their Blu-ray Disc equipment; there are no playback compatibility
issues as with rewritable DVD formats.
The Video Distribution format was widely expanded to offer content producers a full range of additional
features unavailable in the home recording format.
• Video highlights
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced video codecs, including MPEG-2,
so an author can choose the most suitable one for a particular application. All codecs are industry standards,
meaning easy integration with existing authoring tools, and choice from wide range of encoding solutions.
All consumer video resolutions are available:
- 1920 x 1080 HD (50i, 60i and 24p)
- 1280 x 720 HD (50p, 60p and 24p)
- 720 x 576/480 SD (50i or 60i)
