Features
BD-ROM playback
Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation video disc format featuring far
higher disc capacity than conventional DVD. The higher capacity
makes a whole range of new and enhanced features possible, such
as support for high-definition video up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, high
quality, surround sound audio, greater interactivity and richer
content.
BD-ROM discs are commercially produced discs (Video Distribution
format) that can contain movie and other video content, interactive
content, enhanced menu features such as pop-up menus (press
POPUP MENU/MENU
during playback for these), full-colour, high-
definition animated buttons and animated menu transition effects,
button sounds (sounds are played when menu buttons are selected
or activated), high-definition bitmap subtitles supporting full-colour
images with frame-accurate animation effects up to full video frame
rate, and so on.
While BD capacity is enough for most applications, the BD-ROM
standard allows for content to be spread across several discs,
removing the limit of one physical disc. Follow the on-screen
instructions during playback when using these special kinds of
discs.
BD-J application
The BD-ROM specification supports Java for interactive content.
The Java specification for BD-ROM is known as BD-J. This allows
content providers to put games and other interactive material linked
to specific titles on to BD-ROM discs. (This player does not support
downloadable BD-J content, direct connection to the Internet or the
retrieval of content through the Internet.)
