Buy Blu-ray Recordable Disc

Blu-ray recordable disc technology represents the future of high-definition video and data storage. This optical disc format is unique in that it uses shorter-wavelength blue laser light to both write and read the stored data.

How Blu-ray Recordable Disc Technology Works

Even though the Blu-ray recordable format is identical in size to standard CDs and DVDs, it has a far greater storage capacity. Both CDs and DVDs use higher-wavelength red laser lights during the data writing and reading stages. The storage capability of a media format is directly proportional to the wavelength of the laser lights used during writing and reading.

There are two different Blu-ray formats: BD-R and BD-RE. In the BD-R format, data can only be written to the storage medium once. The BD-RE format allows erasing and rerecording to take place, if desired. Since the red laser light that drives the technology used to read DVDs and CDs is unable to read the new format, users wishing to take advantage of this technological breakthrough must use specialized data writing and reading equipment.

Dual layer technology also doubles the already large storage capacity of this optical media format, with each layer able to store up to 25 gigabytes of information. Current technology allows for up to 23 hours of standard-definition or 9 hours of high-definition video to be stored on a single dual layer recordable disc.
