<p>Blu-ray, or BD (short for Blu-ray Disc), is a new optical disc format capable of playing high-definition (HD) video and storing large amounts of data (up to 50 gigabytes on a dual-layer disc). The name Blu-ray is derived from the blue laser which is used to read and write to Blu-ray discs. This technology allows you to record 5x the amount of data on your blu-ray disc versus a normal DVD.</p> <p>There are many different types of Blu-ray: recordable blu-ray (<a href="../../../blu-ray-bd-r">BD-R</a> ), rewritable blu-ray (<a href="../../../blu-ray-bd-re-rewritable">BD-RE</a> ), dual layer recordable (<a href="../../../blu-ray-bd-r-dl-dual-layer">BD-R DL</a> ), dual layer rewritable (<a href="../../../blu-ray-bd-re-dl-rewritable-dual-layer">BD-RE DL</a> ), <a href="../../../blu-ray/print-technology/inkjet">inkjet printable blu-ray</a> and thermal printable blu-ray media.
