1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,839
streaming video is all the rage these days but convenient as it may be it's

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:11,679
still limited by a number of things how fast your internet connection is whether

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,440
you're subject to the more and more common data caps on your service and

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,080
whether you're willing to deal with recurring billing from someone like

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:24,400
Netflix so maybe it isn't too surprising that Blu-ray discs have found popularity

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,640
among people who are serious about movies and home theater enthusiasts

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:33,879
despite the fact that Optical media as a whole is in Decline which you can learn

8
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:35,960
more about up here it might seem like a

9
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:39,280
shame that the optical disc is seen as a technology that's becoming obsolete

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,239
since Blu-ray has only been on the market for about 10 years back in the

11
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:49,800
early mid 2000s it became clear that HDTV would be as commonplace as old

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,039
school TVs in the near future so there was a lot of interest in developing a

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,879
disc format that had high enough capacities to hold full 1080p movies

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:03,879
especially as standard DVDs generally can't even hold an hour of HD video so

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,560
the solution was to develop a disc that used blue lasers instead of the

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,479
traditional red lasers you see blue light has a shorter wavelength than red

17
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:17,360
meaning that the little Pits on an optical disc that store the information

18
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:22,119
can be made smaller the result was that many more of these little pits could be

19
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:27,320
burned into a Blu-ray than a DVD in fact standard Blu-ray discs can hold over

20
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:31,759
five times as much data as their DVD counterparts and although Blu-ray had to

21
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,360
comp compete against a rival format called HD DVD for a few years that used

22
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:40,640
similar technology Blu-ray ended up winning this new VHS versus betamax

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,360
style format War due to Major Movie Studios supporting Blu-ray the

24
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:48,920
incorporation of Blu-ray drives into the PlayStation 3 and consumer confusion

25
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:54,159
over the difference between HD DVD and normal DVD so with that Blu-ray stands

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:58,479
alone as the one format of choice for HD video but what does it offer that

27
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:02,640
streaming services can't other than the obvious ability to function even if your

28
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:07,079
router cuts out or because your roommate had to microwave his freaking burrito

29
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:11,319
one of the biggest draws isn't the video but the audio Blu-ray discs have enough

30
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:16,440
capacity to support lossless audio formats like Dolby true HD and dtsh HD

31
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:20,200
Master audio which offer up to eight discrete channels and Incredibly

32
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:25,080
detailed sound as long as your speakers and receiver are up to par we're also

33
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:29,319
seeing movie studios release extras like deleted scenes exclusively on Blu-ray

34
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,800
meaning they often aren't available on streaming Services the tech isn't

35
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:38,720
resting on its Laurels either as higher capacity Blu-rays holding fulllength 4K

36
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,480
movies are set to hit the market this year along with support for new digital

37
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:48,760
audio standards like Dolby Atmos and dtsx which offer much more precise

38
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,800
spatial orientation of sound than traditional multi Channel setups by

39
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,800
contrast streaming services don't yet offer lossless audio even 4K video alone

40
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:03,159
is too much for the internet speeds that many average users have and can chew

41
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,840
through 300 GB of a monthly data cap quite quickly so if you're a real movie

42
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:12,760
buff you might not want to start thinking of optical discs as coasters
