What is Blu-ray discs ?

Blu-ray discs were created to read and write large amounts of information. While a standard DVD can only hold 4.7 GB of data, a Blu-ray disc can hold up to 25 GB of high-def data on single layer discs and up to 50 GB with double layer discs. Blu-ray discs play only in Blu-ray players or Blu-ray ROM drives. Also, they have a special protective hard-coating for increased durability. Additional features like BD-Live extend the movie viewing experience beyond your living room. Check out the Amazon Blu-ray Store to find your favorite movies in high-definition.
