The new Blu-ray disks are red by a violet blue laser there for the reason its called blu-ray. A Blu-ray disk is also known as a BD. More data can be saved or written to a Blu-ray then to a DvD formatted disk. A two layer Blu-ray disk can store fifty gig's that close to six times as much as a two layer DvD disk. It’s almost ten times more than a single layer DvD.
