Will Blu Ray Play HD Discs ?

Blu-ray and HD DVD are competing disc storage formats looking to replace the standard DVD format. In effect, they look to supersede the standard DVD in terms of storage capacity. Although there is always a need to improve on an existing system, these two formats have received much attention because of the imminent appearance of high definition movies, video and television. Notably, high definition movies need more storage space and this is why a search for the next generation of DVD is occurring.
Blu ray and HD DVD are fighting it out to replace the standard DVD. Much research and development has gone into creating each format and various industry giants are adopting one or the other to put into their products.
Sony and Panasonic are two big consumer electronics companies that are going with Blu-ray. All their products will use the blu-ray technology.
Toshiba and NEC are supporting HD DVD and all their products will use HD DVD technology.
In terms of game consoles, the Sony Playstation 3 will use blu-ray and the Xbox from Microsoft will use HD DVD.
All these products will have backwards compatibility whereby they will be able to player the standard DVD’s. However, they will not play the competitors format of disc storage. Thus blu-ray will not be able to play HD disks and vice versa.
The truth is that many big companies have so much money invested in their products, that they would want to see the opposition fail, so the last thing they will be doing is making them compatible.
Having said this, Pioneer and LG made an announcement that they would be producing a dual blu-ray/HD DVD player. This will no doubt feature two individual readers, one for blu-ray and one for HD DVD. NEC have also recently announced that they are creating a chip that can be used as the processor behind a universal player that will be able to play both blu-ray and HD DVD’s. So things are happening, but you may have to wait a few years before you see products on the shelves and they might be expensive to begin with.

I am planning on buying an iPad and I am really looking forward to the iBooks feature. I was wondering what the amount of titles are available for the ipad currently and how many books will be available probably later in the year. Oh, and I was also wondering what publishing companies will add their titles in the future to the ipad. Thanks!

Blu-Ray Vs DVD
Ozlem Yegengil wrote:
Technology, especially in electronics and disc technology is developing at a dazzling speed. Now we have Blu-rays with blue laser technology instead of red laser used for our DVD. It seems that the term ‘DVD’ standing for Digital Versatile Disc will be replaced by the term ‘BD’ standing for Blu-ray Disc. It has already begun entering our lives as well as our terminology.
When we take a look at its advantages, the storage capacity of this next-generation format BD is five times more than DVD format. The capacity of a single layer is 25GB and dual-layer has 50GB capacity. Blu-ray provides read-only (BD-ROM), recordable (BD-R) and rewritable (BD-RE) formats. A dual-layer can contain 9 hours of HD video. It supports all the codecs that DVD format supports and in addition, it supports Dolby True HD, DTS-HD and DTS Digital Surround audio codecs and MPEG-4AVC and SMPTE VC-1 video codes. The video bit rate is maximum 40.0 Mbps while DVD has only 9.8 Mbps video bit rate.
This technology is developed by a group of several huge companies such as Warner Bros, Walt Disney, Sony, LG, Dell and Apple. Many studios have begun releasing movies on BD and there are many more upcoming movies . The Blu-ray players are compatible with DVD and CD. The best thing about Blu-ray is that it supports HD (high-definition) video with high picture quality whereas DVD supports only SD (standard definition) as storage capacity of DVD is not sufficient for HD. Besides, it has a menu system that enables you to see anything in the menu while the movie is playing in the background. Also you can jump to any section on the BD easily. Another advantage of Blu-ray is its hard-coating. Unlike DVD, BD is scratch resistant.
Actually, HD-DVD is similar to BD, using blue laser technology. However, audio and video quality of BD is much more better. Also HD-DVD is not supported by most of the giants in the market. You will not be able to find the movies you would like to watch in the formats other than BD in near future. Hardware support of BD is also much more broader than HD-DVD.
Blu-ray will succeed the DVD format in a short time and DVD will lose its popularity as BD is supported by the leading movie studios and PC manufacturers. BD is the format of today but we do not know for how long and when it will be replaced with what. This market is full of competition and leading companies come out with something new everyday.
It is unavoidable to own Blu-ray players for watching new releases as it will not possible to find their DVD formats in near future. However, the Blu-ray movie prices are very affordable. You can find BD formats of your favorite movies starting from $6 – $7 up to $50 – $60 for the box sets and it is worth for its quality and new features.

You can put that special someone on your iPod, a scanned sketch for you artists or your favorite pet.

But HP also has a section where you can upload your own file from your computer and create your own special tattoo. You simply browse your computer for the file in GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP or TIF format and you can even edit it online to get exactly what you want.
Note that maximum file size you can use is 4MB but that will give you a great looking tattoo to print out. You will also need Adobe Acrobat to see the finished image. If you don’t have your own free copy you can download Adobe Reader at http://www.adobe.com.
