Blu Ray - The Next Media Generation

In order to understand blu ray media fully, we must have a good understanding of what came before it. With the introduction of the CD in the early eighties, traditional media took an huge step forward. The CD offered a marked improvement in the quality of audio and great storage abilities and was also was a huge step forward in data storage and retrieval. For the first time in history, there was a universal standard for recordable, pre-recorded and re-writable media. The public now had the best quality and features available at a very low cost.

The CD proved to be very useful and widely popular when it was introduced,  but soon there was a demand for more storage capacity. These public demands in the 1990s lead to the introduction of the DVD which offered  up to ten times more capacity. In turn, the increase of capacity paved the way for more demanding data applications.

 In this day and age, high definition video demands a new answer. The key elements have been proven with the up to ten times increase in storage and the ability to play the previous generation formats. The new format arrived in the form of the blu ray disc. Blu ray media is the one single format that gives users a significant increase in storage with its 25 to 50 GB data capacity. This makes distributing and recording high definition video that result in the ultimate quality.

Blu Ray media is the only format that will allow for the same high quality and interactive features to create an user experience that is like no other. Blu ray media allows for compatibility with both the CD and DVD.

Now that you have a general understanding of how blu ray evolved and how outstanding this media is, you may be interested to know a bit about a Japanese corporation that has set the quality standard with blank DVD media. This company is called Taiyo Yuden. Other makers can only aspire to mimic the fine products of this outstanding Japanese pioneer. Most professionals will gladly pay a few cents more for a Taiyo DVD as they know that recording problems are eliminated.

Taiyo Yuden entered the blu ray media market in 2008 when they released their new BD-R media for LTH recording. Ever since, the likes of Maxwell and Mitsubishi Kagaku Media have been scrambling to  match the high standard this company has set.
