Right, so I was watching some Halo 3 beta goodness on game videos, some were in HD. I decided to download one.. I couldn't believe it! Movie = 1 minute long File size = 687.5MB. That means a HD movie download would be gigabytes.. way into gigabytes.. which brings me to this question.. How the holy crap do blu-ray and HD DVD get movies onto discs? They must be so expensive to make! I mean, how can they afford thousands of different copies of 1 movie!? |

Hax? Meh, doesn't bother me too much. I can watch normal DVD's and I don't complain about how good they look. |

Nor me. I'm just wondering how they get all that on a disc, and afford to make thousands of them, and thats just 1 movie. |

Read with a blue laser so it is narrower. The laser sees microscopic "bumps" on the disc as a 1 and gaps as 0. The bumps can be closer together because the laser is narrower. Also the disc is slightly larger. |

They are typically multi layered discs, and blue lasers have a much shorter wave length, I beleive the discs can hold anywhere between 5Gb-50Gb So yes the movies are very large. Edit:Looks like DrFred said the same ting as me, oh well. |

Blue rays single layered hold 25gb and HD-DVDs hold 20gb. I think Blu rays can possibly go to 8 layers (200gb) and HDs can have 5 (100gb) |
