What exactly does "Blue-Ray" mean?

Question

[[Cause I went to the video store...but i wasn't really sure if i should just get the original movie or the one in "blue-ray"]]

Answer 1

You need a blue ray player to play blue ray discs, its just a type of hd disc

Answer 2

You have to have a Blue-Ray player to play the Blue-Ray dvd's.  Its like a HD version of dvd's and has a clearer picture although a lot of the movie companies are split on HD dvd and Blue Ray.

Answer 3

blue ray is a better image but it also costs more also unless u have a blue ray dvd player or it wont work

Answer 4

Blue ray works the same way that normal DVDs do by bouncing a laser off the disc. But blue ray means that the laser's light is blue which is more concentrated. In short it is like with a word document if you make the font smaller the same info is on the paper but now you have more room for other stuff. But you need a blue ray player to watch a blue ray disc. I made that mistake with HD DVDs.

Answer 5

A movie in better definition, clearer, better sound.

Answer 6

Really clear picture. Clearer than real-life. Btw, if you don't have Blue-Ray player then don't get the movie in Blue-Ray.
