The good news keeps rolling in for blue ray DVD movies. Apparently, blue ray movies are extremely popular in Japan because they have outsold the HD-DVD format by 90 percent. 10 percent of the DVD sales is something to be ashamed of if you are the HD-DVD format. Talk about a smack in the face. If I have learned one thing, it is that Japan is the leading source when it comes... Read More with Video
If anybody remembers the ancient video medium that was video cassettes, we all know how long they lasted, and then suddenly, like an obsolete ghost, they quickly vanished. Then our eyes were opened to Laser Disc – probably one of the worst inventions since the 8 track audio player. Literally this two-foot-sized disc supposedly held a movie, which was at low quality and... Read More
My brother is a technological wizard, but even he did not know about blue ray DVD movies. We were riding home together after a family celebration, and I started talking about the technological improvements in DVD players and mentioned blue ray movies. For a change, I knew something about emerging technology that he knew nothing about. I explained to him that blue ray DVD... Read More
In one of my previous posts, I touched on 28 Days Later being
one of those blue ray movies that wasn’t much different in terms of quality
from a standard DVD. This was because the special effects in it were not CGI
driven. Transformers on the other hand is largely CGI and special effects
driven and that is why it will be one of the must see blue ray... Read More with Video
First there was video cassette then there was Laserdisc followed by DVD, now we have entered the period of Blue Ray movies.

First there was video cassette then there was Laserdisc followed by DVD, now we have entered the period of Blue Ray movies. Unlike DVD's, Blue Ray DVD movies use a much more powerful laser to read the data. By using a blue-violet laser beam, not only are the players able to read the data faster but the data can stored in more compressed sizes; allowing for better quality of viewing and more storage space.
In the past when the industry has decided to upgrade its method of delivery there has always been a large gap for the consumers. The same is true with Blue Ray DVD movies. Since they first came out a couple years ago it was hard to even find a place to buy the movies at. Fortunately as the trend picks up momentum there are more and more places that are stocking up on Blue Ray.
I was frustrated with the selection of Blue Ray DVD movies at Blockbuster Video for a while now. Finally they have made efforts to upgrade all of their stores so consumers like me can finally rent Blue Ray movies. Although the selection could be better, at least there are some titles you can rent now. As Blue Ray ascends the ranks, I am confident that in time I will be able to rent any title I seek on Blue Ray. For now at least I can rent a few.
