I was thinking how cool that would be to have a an entire season of some vintage TV series on one disc. It would depend on things like the total length of the source material, whether it's color or B&W, and the number and kind of audio tracks, subtitles, and extras that were included. It's also possible with any of these digital discs (including DVD) to fiddle with the compression in order to get longer playing time. In any case, a single sided dual layer HD DVD (HD) disc holds 30GB, a Blu-ray (BD) 50GB. A single sided dual layer DVD holds less than 9GB, although you can't do a direct time-based comparison of DVD with the high def formats because high def uses more disc space per minute of viewing time. An HD disc can be dual sided, holding a total of 60GB, but I don't know if two sided discs are permitted by BD's spec or even possible with its manufacturing process. So HD actually has a 10GB greater capacity per disc than BD, while BD has a 20GB greater capacity per side than HD. How this would work out in fitting material onto disc sides is anybody's guess, but I suspect that consumers would object strenuously to having to get up and flip a disc in the middle of a movie or episode. Wikipedia has a a page comparing DVD, HD, and BD. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_high_definition_optical_disc _formats> |
