I talk about the difference between DVD v.s. Blu-Ray and 4K and why you should upgrade to the Blu-ray format if you want to experience home theater viewing at it's best. DVD is a digital optical disc storage format, invented and developed by Philips, Sony, Toshiba, and Panasonic in 1995. DVDs offer higher storage capacity than compact discs while having the same dimensions. DVDs are used in DVD-Video consumer digital video format and in DVD-Audio consumer digital audio format, as well as for authoring AVCHD discs. DVDs containing other types of information may be referred to as DVD data discs. Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a digital optical disc data storage format designed to supersede the DVD format. The plastic disc is 120 mm in diameter and 1.2 mm thick, the same size as DVDs and CDs. Conventional (pre-BD-XL) Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for feature-length video discs. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL re-writer drives.[3] The name Blu-ray Disc refers to the blue laser used to read the disc, which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs. The major application of Blu-ray Discs is as a medium for video material such as feature films. Besides the hardware specifications, Blu-ray Disc is associated with a set of multimedia formats. Generally, these formats allow for the video and audio to be stored with greater definition than on DVD. The format was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures. The first Blu-ray Disc prototypes were unveiled in October 2000, and the first prototype player was released in April 2003 in Japan. Afterwards, it continued to be developed until its official release in June 2006. As of June 2008, more than 2,500 Blu-ray Disc titles were available in Australia and the United Kingdom, with 3,500 in the United States and Canada. In Japan, as of July 2010, more than 3,300 titles have been released. During the high definition optical disc format war, Blu-ray Disc competed with the HD DVD format. Toshiba, the main company that supported HD DVD, conceded in February 2008,[6] releasing its own Blu-ray Disc player in late 2009. 4K resolution refers to display medium or content in which the horizontal resolution is of the order of 4,000 pixels. Several 4K resolutions exist in digital television and digital cinematography. The term 4K refers to the horizontal resolution (instead of the vertical as with 1080p which is currently marketed at "Full HD") of these formats, which are all on the order of 4,000 pixels. As of 2013, 4K compatible televisions are available to general consumers for under $1000, and some modern smartphones are capable of recording video at 4K resolution. However due to lack of available content 4K compatible technology has yet to achieve mass market appeal. dvd vs blu ray, ranting on home theater, dvd vs blu-ray, blu-ray vs 4k, 4k home theater, 4k player, 4k bluray player, vhs vs dvd, must own movies, hdtv, hdmi, 4k cinema, 4k theater, 8k, dvd, blu-ray, bluray, side by side comparison, home theater, movie theater at home, original source material, dts hd, true hd, high definition, movie lovers, the dark knight, town & country, stuck on you, saving private ryan, chinatown, jack nicholson, redray, red ray, redray 4k, red ray 4k, hd dvd, hd dvd vs blu ray, dvd vs hddvd, digital, blu ray vs digital, ultraviolet, dvd vs ultraviolet, tom hanks, christian bale, dvd vs bluray screenshots, screenshots, 1080p, 480p vs 1080p, 720p, 1920 x 1080p, 4K UHD is a resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160 lines, 8.3 megapixels, aspect ratio 16:9, 3840 × 2160, blu-ray vs 4k, 4k vs 8k, rant, vhs vs dvd, anamorphic, retina, what is 2k, what is 4k, 4k explained, difference between 2k and 4k, 4k projector, 2k projector, projectors, sony, panasonic, toshiba, oppo, oppo blu ray player, blu ray players, blu ray player, best blu ray players, reviews, widescreen, anamorphic widescreen, 2k vs 4k, dvd vs 2k, 2k vs 8k, aspect ratio, not released on blu-ray. - Extra tags: My Dvd Collection Update , Unboxing Videos , Blu ray Collection Update , BDs , AngryJoeShow, angry joe show, Blu ray Reviews , the flick pick, film fan pete, filmfanpete, PewDiePie, Pew Die Pie, Movie Reviews , Movie Review , Reviews , Comedy, Horror , Gory Gross Out Films , Upcoming Dvds and Blu-rays , Coming Soon , Summer 2013 Movies , Wwe films, limited edition Blu-ray , Limited Edition , Rare and Out of Print, Movie Collection , Collector, Coolduder, IMAX format films , Imax , 3D Movies , High Def , Special Features , Commentary Track, deleted scenes, behind the scenes, rare footage, lost footage, interviews, interview.

Tutorial For How To Customize Your Xbox Live Avatar's Mouth Seventh Generation Video Game Consoles History Description : " The release of the Xbox 360 began the seventh generation. The features introduced in this generation include the support of new disc formats: Blu-ray Disc, utilized by the PlayStation 3, and HD DVD supported by the Xbox 360 via an optional $200 external accessory addition, that was later discontinued as the format war closed. Another new technology is the use of motion as input, and IR tracking (as implemented on the Wii). Also, all seventh generation consoles support wireless controllers. This generation also introduces the Nintendo DS, and the Nintendo DSi, which add touch screens and cameras to portable gaming. • Microsoft kicked off the seventh generation with the release of the Xbox 360 released on November 22, 2005 in the United States, December 2, 2005 in Europe, December 10, 2005 in Japan and March 23, 2006 in Australia. It featured market leading processing power until the Sony PlayStation 3 release, one year later. While the original Xbox 360 "Core" did not include an internal HDD, most Xbox 360 models since have included at least the option to have one. The Xbox 360 optical drive is a DVD9 reader, allowing DVD movies to be played. You can have up to four controllers connected to the console wirelessly on the standard 2.4 GHz spectrum. There are 3 discontinued versions of the Xbox 360: the "Arcade," the "Pro," and the "Elite." The currently shipping "Slim" version of the Xbox 360 includes 3 configurations: a 4GB SSD version, a 250 GB HDD version, and a branded 320 GB HDD version. The motion gaming capabilities of this console is named "Kinect." • Sony's PlayStation 3 was released in Japan on November 11, 2006, in North America on November 17, 2006 and in Europe and Australia on March 23, 2007. All PlayStation 3s come with a hard drive and are able to play Blu-ray Disc games and Blu-ray Disc movies out of the box. The PlayStation 3 was the first video game console to support HDMI output out of the box, utilizing full 1080p resolution. Up to seven controllers can connect to the console using Bluetooth. There are 6 discontinued versions of the PS3: a 20 GB HDD version (discontinued in North America and Japan, and was never released in PAL territories), a 40 GB HDD version (discontinued), a 60 GB HDD version (discontinued in North America, Japan and PAL territories), 80 GB HDD version (only in some NTSC territories and PAL territories), a "slim" 120GB HDD version (discontinued), and a "slim" 250 GB version (discontinued). The two current shipping versions of the PlayStation 3 are: a "slim" 160 GB HDD version and a "slim" 320 GB HDD version. The hard drive can be replaced with any standard 2.5" Serial ATA drive and the system has support for removable media storage, such as Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, USB, SD, MiniSD, and CompactFlash (CF) digital media, but only the PlayStation versions up to 80 GB support this. The slim PlayStation 3 consoles (120 GB and up) had removable storage discontinued.[7] The motion capabilities of this console is named the "PlayStation Move." One would hold the main controller with the dominant hand and an optional second controller in the recessive hand. The "PlayStation Move's" controllers are always accurately being tracked by a camera. With recent software updates, the PlayStation 3 can play 3D Blu-ray movies and 3D games. • Nintendo's Wii was released in North America on November 19, 2006, in Japan on December 2, 2006, in Australia on December 7, 2006 and in Europe on December 8, 2006. It is bundled with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort in all regions except for Japan. Unlike the other systems of the seventh generation, the Wii does not support an internal hard drive, but instead uses 512 MB of internal Flash memory and includes support for removable SD card storage. It also has a maximum resolution output of 480p, making it the only seventh generation console not able to output high-definition graphics. Along with its lower price, the Wii is notable for its unique controller, the Wii Remote, which resembles a TV remote. The system utilizes a "sensor bar" that emits infrared light that is detected by an infrared camera in the Wii Remote to determine orientation relative to the source of the light. Like Nintendo's hand-held systems, it is also backwards compatible with previous Nintendo consoles, as it is capable of playing Nintendo GameCube games and supports up to four Nintendo GameCube controllers and two memory cards. It also includes Virtual Console, which allows the purchase and downloading of games from older systems, including those of former competitors. "
