As far as I know Blue-ray videos are ordinary videos that just have a "high" resolution (more pixels and therefore more detail, more sharpness) plus nasty DRM.

You can have a high resolution with all free codecs as well. The Matroska container with VP8 (WebM) or VP9 codec is usually a good choice.

Kind Regards, Torsten

Hi Ilias,

I don't know what do you exactly mean with 'Blu-ray image quality', but I think the short answer is undoubtedly 'yes'.

At Wikipedia, you can find info about: - Blu-ray Disc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, the non-free video compression format used by Blu-ray Disc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC - WebM, an audio-video container format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebM - VP8, the video compression format that can be an alternative to H.264: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP8 - VP9, a successor to VP8: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP9 - FFmpeg, a free software project that produces libraries and programs for handling multimedia and data and has a native VP9 decoder since October 3, 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg

Best regards

Vicen

Thanks, Ilias K.
