Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has

gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. DVDs can be played
on a DVD player or a DVD drive-equipped computer. For more
information about playing DVDs, see your online User Guide.
Playing a Blu-ray Disc
Blu-ray Disc is a high-capacity optical disc that can store much
more data than a DVD. A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 50 GB
of files, about 23 hours of standard-definition video, or about
nine hours of high-definition video. Blu-ray Discs can be played
on a Blu-ray-compatible player or a Blu-ray drive-equipped
computer. For more information about playing Blu-ray Discs,
