Using Blu-ray and HD Disc Drives

If the computer came with a Blu-ray (BR) and high-definition (HD) disc drive, there are three

programs that are designed specifically for use with this drive:

 DVD Play plays Blu-ray, high-definition (HD), and regular commercial DVD discs.

 PowerDirector is a video editing program for creating Blu-ray or DVD discs.

 PowerToGo is a Blu-ray disc recording (burning) program for different types of data

storage, such as video, music, pictures, and other data. This program enables you to

record data to Blu-ray, HD DVD, and other recordable DVD discs.

For more information about using these programs, see “Playing DVDs” and “Creating

Audio and Data Discs.”

NOTE: The BD HD DVD+RW/+R drive does not support recording high-definition data

to disc.
