Can you convert a DVD to Blu-Ray?

Is it worth replacing DVDs with Blu-Ray?

Will DVDs and blu-rays become obsolete?

Is there a disc better than Blu-Ray?

A DVD is a standard definition device. You won’t get high-definition movie viewing on your DVD, just 480 SD. On the other hand, Blu-Ray is made for HD, and you’ll get the best picture possible, with 1080 HD capability for your Blu-Ray movies. So if you are looking for a quality picture, Blue Ray is the clear winner.

How do I digitize my Blu Ray?
