Blu Ray vs. HD DVD - Who will win the format war?

Blu-ray and HD-DVD (High Definition DVD) are two competing technologies for digital media such as high-definition movies, games and other audio visual material. There are a couple of other new technologies, but it seems that these two are rivals of the key players in the battle for the hearts of consumers' minds and at home. So what I am, that is better and can get the latest technology format war.

Blu-ray was created by the Blu-ray Disc Association, an association ofleading manufacturers of consumer electronics such as Sony and Panasonic, as a substitute for a high capacity storage device in standard DVD format. HD-DVD was developed by the DVD Forum, an association of alternative high-tech electronics manufacturers, including Toshiba and NEC, to replace standard DVDs.

Both operate on the same principle. It uses a blue laser with a wavelength shorter than the standard red laser DVD and CD (405 nm compared to 650 nm). This allows more space ondisc. More storage is like the high-definition video is becoming an important industry standard in film, TV and video games.

The latest information on storage capacity in any format Blu-ray is in front. A single-layer Blu-ray can store up to 25GB compared to HD-DVD 15 GB. A dual-layer Blu-ray can store 50 GB, while stores HD DVD 30 GB. This would suggest that Blu-ray more details can be stored and therefore a better additional features for movies, etc. Although this is notabsolutely true, as the effects of video compression for the amount of information stored on a CD, is the ability to make a significant difference between the two formats.

First Blu-ray data stored near the surface of the disk. This meant that if the disk anyway, would probably be a malfunction or jam scratched during playback. Obviously, a protective layer has been introduced for new Blu-ray and protects data even more. HD DVD has been saved on the hard data everand are resistant to scratches and scuffs smaller.

Although the basic technology is in a format war is important, it is often the case, the people support each format, which has more influence on the outcome.

Here too, it seems that Blu-ray has the advantage.

Blu-ray is backed by consumer electronics companies Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Sharp and Pioneer and many others. This suggests that produce products that are exclusively dedicated toWith Blu-ray. The most recent example is the Sony Playstation 3, which has a Blu-ray Disc.

In the field of information technology companies, Blu-ray is backed by Apple, Dell, Sun Microsystems and Hewlett Packard. The discs using Blu-ray.

Perhaps more important for people interested in home entertainment, major film companies support Blu-ray. These are 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney and Walt Disney and Warner Bros. AlthoughWarner Bros. does not support them exclusively and produce movies in HD DVD. At this point, only Universal Pictures, an exclusive contract for the HD-DVD with photos produce.

On the HD DVD player can be the greatest of these is Microsoft. They have HD-DVD X-Box game console and seems determined to give their weight in the balance, HD-DVD.

Of the largest companies in the consumer electronics industry, are the main supporters of HD DVD Toshiba, NEC and Kenwood.

Regarding the-The producers of computer components, Intel is behind HD DVD.

Although it is not yet clear who would win the format war, it seems that Blu Ray has some supporters. Although HD DVD has some big names, including Microsoft. The prices of individual players and recording devices may also have implications for success in any format. At this point, the majority of products are very expensive, but that will change with time.
