Blu-ray Disc Features Getting Started General Features Player Features Blu-ray Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD. Blu-ray Discs also support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at 40 Mbit/sec) - Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray Disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD.
Menu sounds When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over explaining the highlighted menu choice. With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to Blu-ray Disc's ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several pages. You can browse through the menu pages or select different menu paths, while the audio and video remain playing in the background.
