Blu-ray recorders, how do they work?

As the demand for HDTV rise with people wanting to engage in the high definition experience there is a greater need for equipment which can record and cope with the high definition content. This is where Blu-ray recorders come into play. They use the same MPEG 2 compression standard as that of Digital Television meaning that it is extremely compatible with the new age of digital broadcasting. To be able to manage the size of the data files needed to record the high-definition video the Blu-ray recorder uses a 36Mbps data transfer rate which is plenty adequate for the Blu-ray recorder to actually record and playback the material in high definition whilst still being able to maintain the original picture quality.
