PLEASE NOTE: A BLU-RAY PLAYER IS REQUIRED TO VIEW THIS DISC - IT WILL NOT FUNCTION ON A STANDARD DVD PLAYER.
Blu-ray offers a stunning audio-visual experience - it uses a blue-violet laser that's focused to produce an incredibly precise pinpoint of light - five times smaller than the beam falling on the surface of a DVD. Blu-ray can hold up to an incredible 50GB of data on a single disc (that's over 9 hours of high definition viewing)!
Audio is also vital to the Blu-ray experience, being able to handle up to 32 different audio streams - from basic stereo up to uncompressed 7.1 multi-channel sound!
