Blu-Ray discs are the next generation of DVD. They carry HD(High Definition) video, which DVDs cannot contain. In order to play these discs, you will need a Blu-Ray player, as Blu-Ray discs will not play on standard DVD players or standard computer DVD drives. You also need an HD television to reap the benefits of Blu-Ray. As with most HD programs, these matches are widescreen with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Matches will either be 1080i, 720p, or a mixture of both. This refers to the resolution at which they were recorded.
The video quality of these matches can only be as good as the original television broadcast. Often the quality of HD tennis broadcasts are between 12 and 18 Mbps.
Due to the high costs of the media and the increased difficulty of producing in HD, these matches will be more expensive. As these costs come down (as they inevitably will) so will the prices you see here. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy owning tennis history in High Definition!
Blu-Ray Troubleshooting guide -
It is high tech media and relatively new, so there are bound to be some issues! Please browse through these tips if you are having any issues playing these discs. Please feel free to contact me as well -- Why is the video shaky?
Your tv may be set to 'game mode' or something similar. Many LCD tvs have a plethora of display options. Experiment to find your best setting.
- Why is there audio lag?
This may also be related to the above issue. It could also be related to your HDMI cable. Make sure you are using the latest type of HDMI cable (1.3). Try powering off your television and turning it back on. Also try stopping the disc and playing it again. Using component cables instead of HDMI should resolve any issue like this if all else fails.
