Question

What is the difference between DVD and Blu-Ray?

Answer 1

Blu Ray DVD players are high definition units that display the HIGHEST resolution of any player out there....

The standard DVD player only does 480 lines of video , while the Blu Ray does 1080 Lines.....

Answer 2

DVD is a standard definition disc, it can produce video up to 480p, and it has limited storage space when compared to blu-ray.  Blu-ray has many more times the storage capacity and therefore it can have movies in full High definition up to 1080p.  Blu-ray discs can only be played on blu-ray players.  Blu-rays are only needed if you have a good hdtv, and they will look way better than a standard dvd when viewed on an hdtv.

Answer 3

There is a difference in the technology that allows Blu-Ray discs to hold more data on the same amount of space.

DVDs max out at 9GB of data.

Blu-Ray discs max out at 50GB of data.

DVDs ARE capable of storing and playing High Definition video. The problem is that with 9GB of space they can't hold enough data to put a whole movie on them.

Blu-Ray discs hold more data so they have space for movies and the surround sound that goes with it.
