Playing a DVD
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has
greater data capacity. Because of this increased capacity,
full-length movies, several albums of music, or several
gigabytes of data can fit on a single disc. DVDs can be played
on a DVD player or a DVD drive-equipped computer. For more
information about playing DVDs, see your online User Guide.
Playing a Blu-ray Disc
Blu-ray Disc is a high-capacity optical disc that can store much
more data than a DVD. A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 50 GB
of files, about 23 hours of standard-definition video, or about
nine hours of high-definition video. Blu-ray Discs can be played
on a Blu-ray-compatible player or a Blu-ray drive-equipped
computer. For more information about playing Blu-ray Discs,
see your online User Guide.
Playing an HD-DVD
HD-DVD is a high-capacity optical disc that can store much
more data than a DVD. A dual-layer HD-DVD can hold 30 GB of
files, about 14 hours of standard-definition video, or about 5.5
hours of high-definition video. HD-DVDs can be played on an
HD-DVD-compatible player or an HD-DVD drive-equipped
computer. For more information about playing HD-DVDs, see
your online User Guide.
