The Blu-ray Disc Association is stepping away from movie distribution with the latest Blu-ray format, instead focusing on data backup and recording of high-definition broadcast content, the association said on Wednesday.
The Blu-ray standards-setting organization late last week released the latest Blu-ray disc format called BDXL, in which media will offer storage capacity of up to 128GB. The new format uses more storage layers in discs to extend storage capacity, said Andy Parsons, U.S. Promotions Committee chairperson for the Blu-ray Disc Association.
The new format doubles the storage capacity of existing Blu-ray discs, which offer up to 50GB of storage. With BDXL specifications, discs will be offered in rewritable format with up to 100GB of storage, and as write-once discs with 128GB of storage.
