The greatest thing about the Blu-ray is not just its high definition media, but the high storage capacity of each blu-ray disc. Nothing more than a cd by looks alone, the beauty lies on each surface of the blu-ray disk that really holds the magic. Unlike the cd and dvd, the data on each blu-ray disk is placed above a 1.1 mm polycarbonate layer. By putting the data on the actual disk surface, the problems common to the dvd and cd playback is completely eliminated. These include disk tilt problems and birefringence or double refraction in which the laser light is split into two.

To protect the data, it is then covered with a 0.1 mm layer of polymer coating to make it scratch resistant and easily cleanable with a soft cloth. TDK uses Durabis on their blu-ray disks while Verbatim uses their own technology called ScratchGuard. The coating is still not like the DVD disk which sandwiches the data layer with two disks for protection, which are then glued together. The disk protecting the DVD data is not scratch resistant as experience has taught us. But the Durabis and ScratchGuard promises to be sandpaper proof and dust proof. Childproofing of course is a whole other technology.

A single layer blu-ray disk has been superseded by a dual layer blu-ray disk which can hold twice the data at 50GB per disk. But current developments have made strides on the super capacity of the blu-ray disk. Currently, a quad layer disk which can hold 100 GB of data has been successfully developed. Both TDK and Hitachi have developed a single sided blu-ray disk with 200GB capacity with 6 layers of 33GB. But Ritek seems to have pushed the boundaries of physics just one more time, and claim to have been successful at developing the world’s first true high density blu-ray disk. At ten layers, that’s 250 GB of pure blu-ray goodness.

But before rushing out to the stores and scoring yourselves one of these babies, you will have to keep in mind that you are still at the mercy of current blu-ray players available in the market. Most blu-ray players and recorders currently support dual layered blu-ray disks, and at a measly 4x “super” speed, you’d better be glad there’s nothing more than 50GB of blu-ray disks out on the market. Just imagine how long it will take you to burn a single 200GB blu-ray disk on 4x speed. That would take an eternity plus a lifetime.

But given the relatively shaky technological ground the blu-ray stands on, nothing is ever final. Philips has currently revealed that they have developed 7x, 10x and 12x write speeds on blu-ray discs. With the ever expanding capacity of the blu-ray looming over the horizon, speed has taken a significant role in the blu-ray development.

Currently, the only setback the blu-ray seems to have is hardware compatibility. But even that is being addressed as we speak. Stand alone players and game consoles were the first to piggyback the blu-ray disks. Recordable players, home theater systems and personal computers were next to integrate the blu-ray technology into their systems. As recent as last August, Hitachi has announced its development of the world’s first blu-ray camcorder. It would not be long before blu-ray would be completely integrated into our daily lives. It’s just a matter of when. GP

Blu-ray started their invasion into our homes via the Trojan Horse Playstation 3. They had hoped to break into the unwilling markets by integrating themselves on Christmas’ most popular gift. The full force of Blu-ray army would not be far behind, given the recent droves of Blu-Ray stand alone players as well as PC drives coming out in the market.

But the real clincher is the Blu-Ray camcorder by Hitachi Japan. It is officially the world’s first Blu-Ray Camcorder in the market. The Blu-Ray camcorder will be utilizing the 8cm Blu-Ray disks with 7.5 GB capacity each. The DZ-BD70 model will be support by disk only storage. This translates to roughly one hour of full high definition video on a single-layer BD. The DZ-BD7H on the other hand, will sport an additional built in 30GB hard disk drive as well and accommodate 4 hours of 1920×1080 hi-def video.

With 80% of the camcorders on the prevailing market utilizing tape-free storage, Hitachi hopes to dominate the 30% hold of high definition in the camcorder market. The new Blu-Ray BD camcorders will have an array of exclusively developed full Hi-Def lens, and 5.3 MP progressive complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor to fully compliment the HD facility of the Blu-ray technology.

Not wanting to be left behind in the technology arena, Sony has announced its launch of four brand new Blu-Ray HD models of optical disc recorders. Unlike Sony’s previous recorder model launched last year, these new recorders will be able to store 16 hi-def hours of video on dual layer disks. The most advanced model of the four being introduced boasts of a 500GB hard disk capacity.

Price remains to be as of yet announced, but you can be sure early adopters will have to dig very deep into their pockets for a taste if the exclusive, compared to the more patient watch and waiters who will jump into the market about a year from now. But that’s the price of early adoption and being the cool kid on the block.

Their launch comes as no surprise, and well coordinated with the release of Hitachi’s Blu-Ray technology camcorder. As more HDTV’s are flooding the homes all across the nation and as with Hitachi, more digicams and camcorders are HD ready, the need for more Blu-Ray compatible storage devices and their components are incontrovertible.

In light of the new developments in the home theater systems, Blockbuster Videos have just expressed their favor of the blu-ray format. This should be an exciting event in the home movie entertainment, the likes of which have not been seen since the advent of the VHS/VCR player.

Blu-ray is trailblazing the way in to many areas unlike the HD DVD. This popularity contest reminiscent of high school peers, have introduced a whole new world of mass storage devices. Healthy competition is always a good thing for consumers. But with the Blu-Ray technology still at its infancy, keep your eyes and ears peeled for more developments, as more blu-ray innovation gets integrated into more areas of our daily life. GP

Citizens of today will soon run out of reasons for dodging the Blu-Ray mania. Having primarily left the Blu-Ray buy fest to techie eager beavers, it seems there’s no more running away from them. Anywhere we turn today, we are surrounded by the Blu-Ray bandwagon.

Roxio, the self proclaimed leader in digital media recording and playback software, has released it’s first Blu-ray burning software. The Blu-ray software application is just one in a series of high definition support by Roxio.

The Blu-Ray software applications for pc drives enable the home personal computer for data backup on Blu-Ray disks. It also supports blu-Ray recording on BD-R, rewriting on BD-RE, Blu-Ray disk copying, and Blu-Ray format recording and playback.

Currently only Windows Vista compatible, it goes against the backwards compatibility of the blu-ray format. But then again, it’s made just for Blu-ray. It should be a caveat for Windows XP users still out there.

For the rest of you who still have that extra Blu-Ray burner lying around, Nero has also come out with its own Blu-ray support. It initially only supports Blu-ray disk burning, but other applications is not far behind.

This should put some good use to the LG internal Blu-ray GGW-H10N super burner HD DVD read-only combo drive released early May 2007. For $1,200 it really doesn’t do much justice to the 4x blu-ray burn speed, but even that is so far theoretical. It is capable of recording 50GB of data on dual layer BDR blanks, but with 4x speed, expect long waits on burning times. Keep in mind that it takes about an hour to burn 18 GB of data running on 2x. So make sure you have ample time on your cd burning hands when you get around to burning 50GB on 4x theoretical speed.

And if the $1,200 price tag won’t land you in therapy, perhaps buying one and THEN finding out about the next news will. Pioneer has released its own combo blu-ray BD/HD DVD drive for a measly $299. But the catch is, it can read Blu-Ray media up to 5x speed but only burn regular DVD and CD media, so you shouldn’t lose much sleep over it. But still, with the price difference between $1,200 and $300 just to be able to watch HI-DEF powered content and not being able to burn in HD quality? That has got to spell serious commitment in my book.

And as if reading our collective minds, TDK – the largest manufacturer of Blu-Ray disks, has officially launched the world’s first inkjet printable Blu-ray disk. Say goodbye to your generic all white collection of cd’s. The new blu-ray high def disks are inkjet compatible on the label side, of course. You can now print customized text and graphics directly on the label side any way you want to reflect the funky side of your personality. Now somebody go out and find me a blank blu-ray disk for under $20.00. GP
