Since I got my Blu-ray player in Feb 2010, I have been doing some research. The first “so-called” blu-ray disc that I bought was a pirated one from the “pirates” in KIP mart Tampoi.It was “Independence Day“, which caused me RM10. At first I saw it being clearer than the normal DVD but not exactly that much of a difference from an original DVD, on second thought.
So I decided to buy an original Blu-ray to test the real difference. I logged on to amazon.com and decided to buy “Transformers 2” bluray disc. As I have written before, you can get blu-ray disc at a cheaper price directly from US via amazon.com. I must say that the pictures were extremely clear and worth every cent watching it in blu-ray. Subsequently I bought “Lord of the Rings trilogy” in blu-ray, released on 6/04/2010, reached my house in 10 days. I must say the sceneries in these movies were SUPERB in high-definition……………. you must watch it in HD!
After watching all this original blu-ray disc, I decided to do some research on the pirated ones. I realised that the “so-called” blu-ray disc are not actually bluray disc. They were recorded from an original blu-ray onto a normal DVD!!!. If you don’t believe me, try playing it on a normal DVD player, it can be played where as an original blu-ray cannot be played in normal DVD player.
Furthermore, when you play the pirated blu-ray on a blu-ray player, it will appear as DVD-ROM and not BD-ROM as for original blu-ray. So don’t waste your money buying pirated “so-called” blu-ray discs………..
