00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.839
streaming video is all the rage these days but convenient as it may be it's

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:11.679
still limited by a number of things how fast your internet connection is whether

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:15.440
you're subject to the more and more common data caps on your service and

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.080
whether you're willing to deal with recurring billing from someone like

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:24.400
Netflix so maybe it isn't too surprising that Blu-ray discs have found popularity

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:28.640
among people who are serious about movies and home theater enthusiasts

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:33.879
despite the fact that Optical media as a whole is in Decline which you can learn

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.960
more about up here it might seem like a

00:00:33.879 --> 00:00:39.280
shame that the optical disc is seen as a technology that's becoming obsolete

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.239
since Blu-ray has only been on the market for about 10 years back in the

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:49.800
early mid 2000s it became clear that HDTV would be as commonplace as old

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:54.039
school TVs in the near future so there was a lot of interest in developing a

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:58.879
disc format that had high enough capacities to hold full 1080p movies

00:00:56.680 --> 00:01:03.879
especially as standard DVDs generally can't even hold an hour of HD video so

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:08.560
the solution was to develop a disc that used blue lasers instead of the

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:12.479
traditional red lasers you see blue light has a shorter wavelength than red

00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:17.360
meaning that the little Pits on an optical disc that store the information

00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:22.119
can be made smaller the result was that many more of these little pits could be

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

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:31.759
five times as much data as their DVD counterparts and although Blu-ray had to

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:36.360
comp compete against a rival format called HD DVD for a few years that used

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:40.640
similar technology Blu-ray ended up winning this new VHS versus betamax

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.360
style format War due to Major Movie Studios supporting Blu-ray the

00:01:42.399 --> 00:01:48.920
incorporation of Blu-ray drives into the PlayStation 3 and consumer confusion

00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:54.159
over the difference between HD DVD and normal DVD so with that Blu-ray stands

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:58.479
alone as the one format of choice for HD video but what does it offer that

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:02.640
streaming services can't other than the obvious ability to function even if your

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:07.079
router cuts out or because your roommate had to microwave his freaking burrito

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

00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:16.440
capacity to support lossless audio formats like Dolby true HD and dtsh HD

00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:20.200
Master audio which offer up to eight discrete channels and Incredibly

00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:25.080
detailed sound as long as your speakers and receiver are up to par we're also

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:29.319
seeing movie studios release extras like deleted scenes exclusively on Blu-ray

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:33.800
meaning they often aren't available on streaming Services the tech isn't

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:38.720
resting on its Laurels either as higher capacity Blu-rays holding fulllength 4K

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.480
movies are set to hit the market this year along with support for new digital

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:48.760
audio standards like Dolby Atmos and dtsx which offer much more precise

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.800
spatial orientation of sound than traditional multi Channel setups by

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:57.800
contrast streaming services don't yet offer lossless audio even 4K video alone

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:03.159
is too much for the internet speeds that many average users have and can chew

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

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:12.760
buff you might not want to start thinking of optical discs as coasters
