Comparison: Comparison: CD, DVD & Blu-CD, DVD & Blu-ray Discray Disc

Due to the fact that the data layer on a Blu-Due to the fact that the data layer on a Blu-ray Disc is placed much “closer” to the laser ray Disc is placed much “closer” to the laser lens than in DVD , there is less distortion lens than in DVD , there is less distortion resulting in significantly improved resulting in significantly improved tolerances. Hence, more precision and ultra tolerances. Hence, more precision and ultra high storage densities are made possible.high storage densities are made possible.
