Blu-Ray vs DVD
Lite brought this up on the chat. We had an argument, and raeg was quitted.
So: Blu-Ray or DVD? Last edited by Ningamer; August 6, 2010 at 05:24:08 AM. |

It's impossible to debate these fairly. Blu-ray is similar to DVD but can hold much, much more data. What's there to debate in favor of DVD that actually has to do with the format?

With Blu-Ray players going down in price, I still use the plain old DVD. There isn't much of a noticeable difference between them, and I only watch HDTV for the widescreen. Well guess what! Regular DVDs come with widescreen (at least sometimes)! If I happened to get, say, a PlayStation 3, which happens to be able to play Blu-Rays, I'd watch Blu-Rays just because I happen to be able to. I'm just neutral in this one.

The noticeable difference is that, when played on an HDTV, standard definition content contains visual artifacts because its resolution is lower than that of the display and that, being a higher resolution, high definition video can show more detail than standard definition.
Even so, I thought the thread's title was "Blu-ray vs. DVD", not "Video that's stored on Blu-ray Discs vs. video that's stored on DVDs". |

Pie, video quality is one way to judge media quality.
Blu-Ray is much better, with it being able to store 50GBs of data on average, but the PS3 had a problem where the laser was so strong it burned itself out, and I'm not sure if that's been stopped yet. |

Blu-rays are nice for only HDTVs, but I only have 1 HDTV in my house (and it already has a DVD player built in). Also, I already have 500+ DVDs, so getting a Blu-ray player wouldn't be good for me.
However... the more space and the better resolution makes the Blu-ray better. |

DVDs work in Blu-Ray players.
