Blu-ray is a high definition format with several new audio formats for 7.1 and greater surround sound encoded with it. The sampling rate and bandwidth of blu-ray audio is slightly superior to the forthcoming HD-DVD format. Both of which will require a seperate player, both of which will play current DVD's. NEITHER of which will make your current DVD's High-definition as suggested above. Most of the players will require a digital connection thru HDMI to get the maximum resolution output, so do go buying one unless you know your current HDTV can support the proper resolution on the proper input to match the specific player you buy.

Blu Ray is one of the high definition DVD formats just being introduced; the other is HD-DVD. These discs use different techology from standard DVD, but hold much more data. HD-DVD is closer to current standard DVD disc technology than Blu Ray. You cannot play Blu Ray or HD-DVD on ordinary DVD players, but the high definition players will play standard DVDs as well as the high definition ones.

a blu ray disc (patented by Sony) is essentially a high definition DVD to be played on a blu-ray player and it can hold many times more information than a conventional DVD. It will compete with HI-def(inition) DVD's soon.
