History
  • VS

VHS won out even though Betamax was better quality
4
VHS vs. BetamaxWhy VHS won
  • Licensing problems between Sony and other
    companies
  • VHS initially simpler and cheaper to produce
  • Beta initially had shorter recording times
  • VHS won out in rental market

5
Why do we need a new format?
6
DVDs
  • Single Layer 4.7 GB
  • Only enough for a few hours of standard
    definition content
  • Not good for High Definition content which is
    much bigger
  • Dual Layer still only 8.5 GB (Not nearly enough
    for HD content)

7
New Formats (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray)
  • MUCH bigger
  • HD-DVD single layer15 GB
  • Blu-Ray single layer 23-25 GB

8
What about dual layer?
HD-DVD Blu-Ray
Single Layer 15 GB 23/25 GB
Dual Layer 30 GB 46.6/50 GB
RW Single Layer ---- 23.3/25/27 GB
RW Dual Layer ---- 46.6/50/54 GB
Highest Test 45 GB 100 GB
Theoretical Limit 60 GB 200 GB
GB
Blu-Ray can hold more data

Similarities
  • 405 nm blue-violet laser
  • Codecs
  • Similar Security features (although Blu-Ray has
    more)
  • MUCH more storage space than standard DVD
  • Quicker response time when you change scenes

10
Game Systems
  • Xbox 360 optional add on HD-DVD drive

    with support for Blu-Ray

    ever takes off)

    300

  • Can get scaled down PS3 for 499
  • Has unofficial support from Microsoft
