Movies and Blu-Ray Detailed Information
After VHS, came DVD which stands for digital video disc. It debuted in 1997. The DVD became more popular than VHS around 2003 and companies stopped making VHS. Compared to a CD, the DVD can store more than six times more data. Up to 5 or 6 gigabytes. When I transferred my pictures from my hard drive to one DVD recordable disc it held over 3,000 pictures. That was every picture I ever had on my hard drive for years copied on one DVD recordable disc.
DVD's improved videos and watching movies so much, I didn't think they could invent anything better. The images were more clearer and crisper. Colors were brighter and most importantly, that endless roll of dark colored tape was eliminated. No more VCR's eating your tapes and getting stuck inside the compartment. DVD's are definitely more advanced. They are more user friendly, compact and very durable. I haven't had one break or not work anymore still. DVD's are way better to watch than VHS tapes. The prices on DVD's have dropped over the years. You can now purchase a movie on DVD as low as $4.
Now we have Blu-ray. It debuted in late 2008 giving us an even sharper picture and more storage space. It was invented to allow us to record, rewrite and play high definition video. Blu-ray's can store up to 5 or 6 times more data than traditional DVD's. Most can hold 25 gigabytes and dual layer Blu-rays can hold 50 gigabytes. The audio and video on a Blu-ray is more advanced giving users an impressive high definition experience.
I don't know of anything better on the market than Blu-ray, but I will be impressed if someone can upgrade the technology we get as of today.
