A Blu-ray Disc is also known as BD. It is an optical disc storage media format, and its main uses are for High-definition video and data storage. A Blu-ray disc has the same dimensions as a standard DVD or CD. Blu-Ray derived its name from the blue violet laser that is used to read and write this type of disc, and because of its shorter wave length, it can substantially store more data than a DVD, which uses a red laser.
A Blu-Ray Disc with dual layer can store 50GB, which is almost six times the capacity of a dual layer DVD. Blu-ray discs were initially developed as part of a long line of projects facilitated by the Blu-ray Disc Association. This is a group of companies representing consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures production. Its standard is covered by several patents belonging to different companies.
