Fake Blue Rays Copy

DVD vendors in Quiapo have upgraded to new blue ray format. It can be bought at Php70.00 or $1.00 a piece . "Puro Blu-Ray format na yung binebenta nila. As in naka-plastic pa na may tatak na Blu-Ray and with hologram making it look like it is authentic blue ray. Sabi nung tindera, hindi na raw kailangang bumili ng Blu-Ray DVD Player and its true you can play it in ordinary dvd player." I have tested it and noticeable talagang very clear compared to standard dvd`s.

But the question is, Is it really a blue ray quality video?

Well, the pirates in china were apparently ripping high-def movies and able to crack Blu-ray's AACS and BD+ encryption in the process then re-encoding them using AVCHD, which offers a 720p picture. Because of the reduction in resolution, file sizes are smaller and can be burned to regular DVDs instead of the more costly Blu-ray discs.

So in lay man`s term, they're technically AVCHD DVDs, which is a high-definition format that's a grade lower than Blu-ray and cheaper to burn.

So, pirates are taking advantage of the fact that many viewers can't tell the difference between Hollywood's new high-definition, higher-priced Blu-ray movie format and a bootleg format -- called AVCHD -- that's a grade lower: AVCHD uses 720 horizontal lines of resolution instead of Blu-ray's 1,080, but still offers a sharper picture than an ordinary DVD on high-definition television sets.

Average consumers may not be able to determine whether he or she watches a true BD movie in 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution with high-quality audio, or a pirated movie in 720p with compressed moderate quality audio. Still, even 720p looks much sharper compared to usual DVD resolution.

Definitely piracy is here to stay.But it is illegal for obvious copyright thing but one thing is for sure,those who can`t afford for a blue ray disc and player (by the way blue ray player cost PHP Php 18,000- 35,000 or $400-700) would love these clone blue ray disc.

The Blu-ray disc format was designed in order to stop software pirates from creating and selling movies in high-definition resolution. But what appears right now was not what we expected.Anything is possible for the pirates irregardless what technology we have.
