isn't full hd only 3x sharper than dvd....

[jakesully]

...then why are new blu-rays 50 GBs and why are there 25 Gigs discs? Im talking pixel wise that they are only 3x sharper. Shouldn't hd be 4.7(dvd) times 3?

Full HD is 5 times that of DVD:

PAL-resolution: 720*576=414720 pixels
1080P: 1920*1080=2073600 pixels

Blu-ray have 5.32 (25/4.7) times as much space as DVD.
HD-DVD have 3.19 (15/4.7) times as much space as DVD.

You could say that HD-DVD has less space compared to DVD then you want to use HD-DVD for full HD, 1080p...

dvd is 720x576 if you have a tv that supports 576p (EDTV), most will only do 480p as EDTVs are all but non-existant. anyways that doesn't matter cause if you want to do it by the amount of pixels on a screen you got 720x576 = 414,720 pixels or on a 1920x1080p display you've got 2,073,600 pixels which is approx. 5x clearer than a dvd maxed out a 480p resolution gives you a 6x clearer image, thats where the 6x comes from. i have no idea what you are trying to get at with the 25GB and 50GB comment.

not if your ntcs then its 720x480p

full hd has 2.2 million pixels(?)

blu-ray DL(50 gig) and blu-ray SL(25 gig) and dul layer and singel layer versions of blu-ray studios use a dule layer(50 gig) disc when a movie is more then around 130 min



and there is somthing called dule layer dvd which most dvds bought are, they have 8.5 gigs or storage for movies longer then 120 min

[stockstar1138]

and who isn't to say that in the future blu-ray discs wont be able to handle higher resolutions, not likely but blu-ray disc is capable of it for shorter films.

yeah, and a 60" tv is just a 3x 20" tv.

Not sure if you're joking but technically a 40" TV is 4 times larger than a 20" TV due to the way a set is measured diagonally. Think of a 40" TV being broken up into 4 sections, you should be able to fit a 20" TV of the same aspect ratio in each of those four sections. So a 60" TV is actually 6 times larger than a 20" of the same aspect ratio.

I think the question has been answered correctly and we are now heading into the dangerous realm of humour, that frequently doesn't get translated that way in the text medium.
