Quality and capacity of disc formats
The differences amongst the various disc formats can be boiled
down to these rules of thumb regarding the video quality and
capacity of each format:
• DVD: Each disc holds about 60 minutes of full-quality MPEG-2
video (120 minutes if the disc recorder supports dual-layer
recording).
• DVD (AVCHD): Each disc holds about 40 minutes of full-quality
AVCHD video per layer.
• BD: Each disc holds more than 270 minutes of HD video per
layer.
