Differences between HD-DVD and Blu-ray DVD?


Question: What is Blu-ray and What Was HD-DVD? - What Is The Difference?

NOTICE: HD-DVD is now officially discontinued. However, information on HD-DVD, and its comparison to Blu-ray, is still contained in this article for historical purposes, as well as the fact that there are still many HD-DVD player owners, and HD-DVD players and discs will continue to be sold and traded on the secondary market for some time.

Answer:

HD-DVD (now discontinued) was the second major High Definition Disc format (see Blu-ray, above) that was vying to replace the current DVD standard in the U.S. market, and was a direct competitor of Blu-ray for two years.

HD-DVD was supported, during its brief time on the scene, by Toshiba (its major developer and backer), LG (also supported HD-DVD), NEC, Sanyo, Thomson (Note: Thomson also supported Blu-ray), New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, and Universal Pictures. Microsoft was also a major supporter of HD-DVD. It is interesting to note that although HD-DVD has been discontinued, Toshiba has not switched to the Blu-ray camp and is persuing its own course with a re-emphasis on improving standard DVD upscaling technology and other products.

In terms of technology, Blu-ray and HD-DVD both utilize Blue Laser and sophisticated video compression to achieve high definition video playback on the same size disc as a standard DVD. However, neither format is compatible with the other.

Blu-ray is one of the two major High Definition disc formats (see HD-DVD, below) that were vying to replace the current DVD standard in the U.S. market. As of February 19, 2008, only Blu-ray is left. However, information on both formats is being included here for historical reasons, and the fact that there still HD-DVD player owners and several hundred films available in the format. 

Blu-ray is now supported on the hardware side by all major manufacturers and movie studios including: Denon, Funai, Hitachi, LG, Matsushita (Panasonic), Onkyo, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, HP, Dell, Apple, TDK, Thomson, and Yamaha. Blu-ray is also supported on the software side by Sony/Columbia, Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney Studios, MGM, Paramount, Warner, and Universal, and others. Apple Computer also supports Blu-ray. 

Rip the Main Movie from Blu-ray to MP4

What is Blu-ray?


Blu-ray is an optical disc format designed to display high definition video and store large amounts of data.

Blu-ray is the successor to DVD. The standard was developed collaboratively by Hitachi, LG, Matsushita (Panasonic), Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, and Thomson. It became the default optical disk standard for HD content and optical data storage after winning a format war with HD-DVD, the format promoted by Toshiba and NEC.


The format's name comes from the fact that a blue laser reads from and writes to the disc rather than the red laser of DVD players. The blue laser has a 405 nanometer (nm) wavelength that can focus more tightly than the red lasers used for writable DVD. As a consequence, a Blu-ray disc can store much more data in the same 12 centimeter space. Like the rewritable DVD formats, Blu-ray uses phase change technology to enable repeated writing to the disc.

Blu-ray's standard storage capacity is enough to store a continuous backup copy of most people's hard drives on a single disc. Initially, the format had a 27 gigabyte (GB) single-sided capacity and 50 GB on dual-layer discs. Single-sided Blu-ray discs can store up to 13 hours of standard video data, compared to single-sided DVD's 133 minutes. In July 2008, Pioneer announced that they had found a way to increase capacity to 500 GB by creating 20-layer discs. These discs are not, however, expected to be commercially available in the near future.

Blu-ray also features data streams at 36 megabits per second (Mbps), fast enough for high quality video recording. Blu-ray discs will not play on current CD and DVD players, because those players lack the blue-violet laser required to read the discs. If the appropriate lasers are included, however, Blu-ray players can play the other two formats. Blu-ray disc players (BDPs) are available from a number of manufacturers, including Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung and Sony. Sony's Playstation 3 also has a Blu-ray drive installed.

What DVD formats are recordable?

This article will give you basic knowledge of six DVD format, and tells you the difference, which are recordable, how to get DVD video playable without limitation.

What format does your burner require? DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM?


DVD-R Media: A write-once, recordable format. DVD-R drives can write DVD-R discs, which can be written to only once, as opposed to a DVD-RW drive, which can write and rewrite to RW media multiple times. The Authoring Use Drive (635nm Laser) was introduced in 1998 by Pioneer, and the General Use Format (650nm Laser) was authorized in 2000. DVD-R offers a write-once, read-many storage format akin to CD-R and is used to master DVD-Video and DVD-ROM discs.

DVD-RW Media: DVD ReWritable. A rewritable DVD format that is similar to DVD+RW, but its capability to work as a random access device is not as good as that of the +RW. DVD-RW has a read-write capacity of 4.7 GB.

DVD+R Media: Short for DVD+Recordable, a recordable DVD format similar to a CD-R. A DVD+R can only record data once and then the data becomes permanent on the disc. The disc can not be recorded onto a second time. DVD+R and DVD+RW formats are supported by Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Ricoh, Yamaha and others.

DVD+RW Media: The DVD Plus RW Alliance is a group of companies that includes Philips and Sony. They propose standards for recordable and rewritable DVDs.

DVD+R Dual Layer / Double Layer Media: Double Layer DVD+R media has an amazing 8.5GB of storage capacity. This incredible capacity is enough for up to 4 hours of DVD quality video, 16 hours of VHS quality video or over 120 hours of MP3 audio. Compatible with all current DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives as well as new DVD+R DL drives, the disc is ideal for virtually any business or household application.

Dual-layer DVD-R media offers genuine advantage over the current single layer 4.7GB DVD. The new dual-layer recordable DVD-R disc allows users to read, write or view almost twice the amount of data that is currently possible with the single layer. The advanced technology means that material can be read or recorded on one layer without affecting the other. There's no need to flip sides or change discs.

DVD-RAM Media: DVD Random Access Memory is a rewritable DVD disc endorsed by Panasonic, Hitachi and Toshiba. It is a cartridge-based, and more recently, bare disc technology for data recording and playback. DVD-RAM bare discs are fragile and do not guarantee data integrity. The first DVD-RAM drives had a capacity of 2.6GB (single-sided) or 5.2GB (double-sided). DVD-RAM Version 2 discs have double-sided 9.4GB discs. DVD-RAM drives typically read DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and CD media. The current installed base of DVD-ROM drives and DVD-Video players cannot read DVD-RAM media.


When choosing a format to use, note that DVD-R/RW won’t record in a DVD+R/RW recorder or burner, and vice-versa. This is not an issue when using a Multi-Format recorder or burner, and most DVD players and DVD-ROM drives will read either format.

Tip: 

If you find issues when playing DVD video, try Pavtube DVDAid or DVDAid for Mac – a must-have DVD ripping & coping tool with strong ability to remove DVD protection, transcode DVD to any video and audio format for viewing on various mobile devices, and edit DVD to create personal movie.

What is DVD and Why DVD is Popular

DVD is an optical disc technology with a 4.7 gigabyte storage capacity on a single-sided, one-layered disk, which is enough for a 133-minute movie. DVDs can be single- or double-sided, and can have two layers on each side; a double-sided, two-layered DVD will hold up to 17 gigabytes of video, audio, or other information. This compares to 650 megabytes (.65 gigabyte) of storage for a CD-ROM disk.
 

DVD uses the MPEG-2 file and compression standard. MPEG-2 images have four times the resolution of MPEG-1 images and can be delivered at 60 interlaced fields per second where two fields constitute one image frame. (MPEG-1 can deliver 30 noninterlaced frames per second.) Audio quality on DVD is comparable to that of current audio compact discs.

Formats:

  • DVD-Video is the format designed for full-length movies that work with your television set.
  • DVD-ROM is the type of drive and disc for use on computers. The DVD drive will usually also play regular CD-ROM discs and DVD-Video disks.
  • DVD-RAM is the writeable version.
  • DVD-Audio is a CD-replacement format.
  • There are a number of recordable DVD formats, including DVD-R for General, DVD-R for Authoring, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD+R.

DVD was originally said to stand for digital video disc, and later for digital versatile disc. With the coming of 2014, new DVD releases never take a breather, and even the shortest month of the year will have plenty of popular or critically acclaimed movies that screened in theaters last year hit the retail market.

Since DVD is more and more popular nowadays,  DVD-related multimedia software is plays more and more important role in our daily life. Here, Pavtube DVDAid is my first choice because it converts all my DVD for playing in a more convenient way without bothering to carry the DVDs. Pavtube determines the correct format/file and combines for main movie automatically. Great! Easy!

And besides that, with the Pavtube new official website being released, there are more new money saving software bundles like: DVDAid($35) + DVD Creator($35) = Only $35.9, Save $34.1, which means you can rip DVD to portable devices for on-the-go DVD movie enjoyment as well as get all your video files into playable DVD for entertainment. Really wonderful enjoyment!

Shirley Temple Death: Hollywood Mourns Child Star

UPDATED: Mia Farrow, Whoopi Goldberg and Kristin Chenoweth were among the stars remembering the "Good Ship Lollipop" performer.



Legendary singing-and-dancing child star Shirley Temple died Monday night of natural causes in her Woodside, Calif., home, surrounded by her family and caregivers.

Temple, who later spent time as a U.N. delegate and ambassador, was best-known for her early roles in movies likeBright Eyes, in which she performed her signature song, "Good Ship Lollipop," The Little Colonel and Curly Top, which featured her classic rendition of "Animal Crackers in My Soup."

PHOTOS: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2014

Temple's Bright Eyes co-star Jane Withers was shocked and distraught when she learned of Temple's death, telling The Hollywood Reporter she was just thinking the other day that she should call Temple.

Although Withers and Temple were rivals in the 1934 film, they later became friends and Withers told THR she would call Temple on her birthday every year since the film and after introducing herself with her Bright Eyescharacter name, Joy Smythe, Withers would sing "Happy Birthday," replacing the last line with "You know I love you," and the two would then laugh and talk.

Withers said she credits her big break to Temple, "If it hadn't been for Shirley Temple being the cutest most adorable little girl in the world, and they needed an opposite -- and boy I sure was it -- in Bright Eyes, I might've ended up selling hats in Atlanta, Georgia, my hometown, or something else," she toldTHR.

"I have always been so grateful to her for being the most precious child in the world and having the opportunity to work with her, and we didn't get to know each other when we were children but later on, I did get to know her very well and we became friends, and I never missed a birthday calling her, wishing her a happy birthday…I can't say enough good things about her, and I was so proud of her when she was ambassador for the United States in Ghana and she did so many wonderful, wonderful things…I have prayed every day for Shirley Temple, since I worked with her in Bright Eyesto have a happy, healthy, loving life because she did so much for the world. I'll never forget her as long as I live, and she'll always be in my heart with love and appreciation."

Temple received the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award in 2006 but stayed out of public life in her later years.

PHOTOS: Shirley Temple's Career in Pictures

SAG-AFTRA president Ken Howard released the following statement about Temple's death: "Shirley was a terrific actor whose vibrancy and brilliance set audiences on fire at a crucial time in our nation's history. More important, she was a conscientious and caring citizen whose work on behalf of her union and her country exemplified true service. She'll be greatly missed by so many, but never forgotten. She was a true icon of the entertainment industry and beloved by her colleagues in the acting profession. Shirley simply epitomized the word 'star.' There are few more deserving of her accolades, and I am personally so pleased that she was a recipient of our Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award."

Temple spent most of her film career making movies for Fox. The studio's current CEO Jim Gianopulos released a statement addressing her legacy.

"Today as the world mourns the loss of 'America’s Little Darling,' we remember not only one of the most prolific child stars to ever grace our screens, but also a woman whose achievements reached far beyond her Hollywood career," Gianopulos said. "Shirley Temple Black remains an integral part of Twentieth Century Fox's heritage and the bronze sculpture of her that flanks the Shirley Temple Black Child Development Center on the Fox lot serves as reminder of her enduring legacy and her ability to unite and entertain both young and old. She was an extraordinary talent and on behalf of all of us at Fox, I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to her family."

Actress June Lockhart remembered when Temple joined the Westlake School for Girls in Holmby Hills as a freshman after she parted ways with Fox. It was “her first experience with other students, as she was tutored at the studio earlier,” Lockhart said. “We became friends, and she was great fun.

“It was Shirley’s first time with a uniform dress code, and no lipstick was allowed. She joined the drill team, and I was the captain. While we were at Westlake, we did the film Miss Annie Rooney, and Shirley had her first screen kiss onscreen.

“She was one of a kind and will be missed.”

Temple's death was a hot topic on Tuesday's The View, with Whoopi Goldberg, who previously tweeted her thoughts about Temple, revealing that she has a flipbook of Shirley Temple that she keeps on her desk at home.

Barbara Walters also recalled idolizing Temple.

"I grew up on Shirley Temple. I mean she was older than I, I'm happy to say," Walters said. "And I loved and hated her. I mean, she was my idol with the little curls, and we all had to wear little curls, and I wore little curls."

She even did a quick rendition of "The Good Ship Lollipop"



Others took to Twitter and Instagram to mourn the former child star with Mia Farrow, Kristin Chenoweth and Miley Cyrus among those who shared their remembrances.

Check out what Hollywood said about Temple on social media:

Rest in peace Shirley Temple. The world is so much brighter because you were in it...

Convert TS Folder and VOB files to PS3 playable format on Mac

The guide shows you how to quickly convert TS Folder and VOB files to PS3 playable video formats so that you can play the video files from DVD on PS3 without problems. 
DVD movie is usually saved as a directory file structure within VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folder. And the VIDEO_TS folder contains main movies (.vob) and lots of system files (.ifo and .bup).

I want to convert TS Folders and .Vob files to Mp4 so i can stream it from my Mac to my PS3. Which converter can do it best? Hope anyone can help. 

A VIDEO_TS file is a DVD folder file, mainly containing all data for the DVD movie. It totally contains three kinds of files inside: VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.BUP, and VIDEO_TS.VOB. And VOB files (Video Objects) contain a DVD's main chapters and tracks which are located in your DVD's Video TS and Audio TS folders, and house all of your DVD's contents.

The problem is that many standalone devices simply do not support the TS Folder and VOB files format. The PlayStation 3 (PS3) is one of them, it often preferring the MP4 container format for use with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoding

So to make TS Folder and VOB files files playback on the PS3 without limitation, you may have to convert TS Folder and VOB files to PS3 playable format (e.g. H.264/MPEG-4). Along with some help from third-party software. With Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac, a great Video Converter for PS3, you can easily achieve your goal smoothly.

The following guide shares with you how to encode TS Folder and VOB files to PS3 for playback on Mac step-by-step.

Step 1. Install and launch the Pavtube PS3 Video Converter for Mac, and click "Add file" or "Add from folder" button to load your TS Folder and VOB files files. The software supports batch converison so that you can add several files to convert at one time.

Step 2. Click on "Format" boarder to set output format.

Now that we're converting TS Folder and VOB files for PS3, a recommended format is Common Video > "H.264 Video(*.mp4)" or "MPEG-4 Movie(*.mp4)".

Everything runs smoothly until I want to play some DVD movies on it for my kids. If you also have an InnoTab 3 or InnoTab 2, you will know that it do not support play DVD movies directly. The only way to solve the problem is convert DVD movies to the friendly format with InnoTab. Although my husband always converts our DVD collections to play on iPad with Pavtube DVD Ripper, I am not sure if it is suitable for Kids Tab. Just have try, I surprised found that it succeed! 
 
Now, I will show you how to play DVD movies on Vtech InnoTab 3 (it also suitable for InnoTab 2). 

Step 1: Download the trial version of Pavtube DVD Ripper or buy it now to enjoy New Year Promotion

Step 2: After you insert the DVD Ripper, launch it and load DVD movies with "Load file" icon. It also supports IFO image files. Below is the screenshot of the main interface after I load DVD movie. 

 

Step 3: Then you need to choose the output format. Although Pavtube does not have the specific profile for InnoTab as iPad, you could choose "H.264 Video (*.mp4)" format under "Common Video" 

 

Step 4: Customize the profile settings. You can adjust the video bitrate, frame rate, audio channels, etc. According to my experience, this step can be shipped because the original setting is enough. 

 

Tip: 

If your children begins to learn words, you could add some subtitles for the output videos so that they can review the words when enjoying the movies. 

 

Step 5: Click the "Convert" button to start the conversion. Just waiting for a while and then you will get the output videos. 

Step 6: Connect the Inno Tab to the computer with the USB cable, and then turn it on. Double click on your computer icon and then double-click on the drive letter for your Inno Tab. Double click on the "LLN" directly, then "MOVE". Copy your video into the directory.
