CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray (Not PHP)

Hi gang:

I'm no expert on media, but the only difference between CD, DVD,
Blu-Ray is the amount of data they can hold, right? IOW, you can
still record video, audio, pictures, files, all digital data on all
media - it's just that Blu-Ray can hold more than DVD and DVD holds
more than CD, isn't that right?

Cheers,

tedd

From a purely storage standpoing that's correct. The other difference is
that CD and DVD are industry standard formats backed by the ISO. BluRay is a
sony proprietary format.

Blue-Ray and HD DVDs come with DRM (Digital Rights Management)
software burnt in the cd.
Anti Copy software. I believe.

More data brings the ultimate experience of HD 3D in both video and audio.

I believe they each have certain formats as well, i.e. the way that data
is stored on them. So data stored on a DVD would be laid out in a
different filesystem to a CD with the same data.

As mentioned, in terms of just data, then pretty much yes. Capacity is the =
key.

But, CD, DVD and BlueRay really only describe the technology in the
loosest of terms.

CDs can be created in several formats:

Audio CD / CD-DA / Red Book - This is what you put in your CD player
to listen to music. Can also be extended to be CD-Text, CD+Graphics
(CD+G), CD+Extended Graphics (CD+EG, CD+XG)
Super Audio CD
CD-MIDI
CD-ROM
Video CD (VCD)
Super Video CD (SVCD)
Photo CD (Kodak's format)
CD-i (Philip's)
Enhanced CD / CD Extra / CD Plus
VinylDisc - This one is actually a CD on 1 side and the label has a
vinyl track - can support upto 3 minutes of audio. Need a record
player to listen to it.

And that is JUST CD.

DVD and BlueRay have their own standard and formats.

So, even though the disks all look the same, each format
limits/determines what it can contain, how it is organised and what
the player has to be.
