INTRODUCTION
There is no end for the Technology. It goes on and on. Blu-ray Discs (BD)- which has high storage capacity, Blu-ray discs can hold and playback large quantities of high-definition video and audio, as well as photos, data and other digital content.

The Advantages of DVDs

Blu Ray

 DVD picture quality is better, and many of DVDs have Dolby Digital or DTS sound, which is much closer to the sound you experience in a movie theater.  Many DVD movies have an on-screen index, where the creator of the DVD has labeled many of the significant parts of the movie, sometimes with a picture. With your remote, if you select the part of the movie you want to view, the DVD player will take you right to that part, with no need to rewind or fast-forward.  DVD players are compatible with audio CDs.  Some DVD movies have both the letterbox format, which fits wide-screen TVs, and the standard TV size format, so you can choose which way you want to watch the movie.  DVD movies may have several sound tracks on them, and they may provide subtitles in different languages.

Blu-ray Disc  There is a 1.1 mm thick polycarbonate layer.  Construction similar to DVDs 1. The two discs are moulded. 2. The recording layer is added to one of the discs. 3. The two discs are glued together.  Hence cost of the BD remains same with more protection .  Higher data transfer rate 36 to 54Mbps for BD. BD.

 Birefringence: In a DVD, the data is sandwiched between two polycarbonate layers, each 0.6-mm thick. Having a polycarbonate layer on top of the data can cause a problem called birefringence, in which the substrate layer refracts the laser light into two separate beams. If the beam is split too widely, the disc cannot be read.  Disc tilt: if the DVD surface is not exactly flat, and is therefore not exactly perpendicular to the beam, it can lead to a problem known as disc tilt, in which the laser beam is distorted.

ADVANTAGES
 Record high definition television without any quality loss  Instantly skip to any spot on the disc.  Record one program while watching another on the disc.  Create playlist.  Edit and reorder programs recorded on the disc.  Automatically search for an empty space on the disc to avoid recording over a program.  Access the web to download subtitles and other extra features.

Other Competitors
HD-DVD(High Definition DVD):
HD-DVD, also called AOD (Advanced Optical Disc), which was developed by electronics giants Toshiba. The advantage to HD-DVD is that it uses the same basic format as the traditional DVD and can therefore be manufactured with the same equipment, saving on costs. The disadvantage is that it can't match the storage capacity of Blu-ray. A rewritable, single-layer HD-DVD can hold 20 GB of data; a double-layer disc can hold 30 GB. The read-only versions hold slightly less data
