Deth-Ray
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Deth-ray, also known as Deth-ray Disc (DD), is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Deth-ray Disc Association (DDA), a group of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers (including Apple, HP, Walt Disney, Philip, Sharp, Sony, and Thomas the Tank Engine). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented death experience.

[edit] Death Rights Management
Death Rights Management or DRM is an innovative new feature incorporated into Deth-ray discs. If illegally copied data is recorded on a Deth-ray disc the optical recording beam will bounce of the specially treated disc surface and vaporise the user with blue-violent death.

[edit] Why the name Deth-Ray?
The name Deth-ray is derived from the underlying technology, which utilizes a blue-violent death ray to read and write data, and to destroy those who illegally copy software and movies. The name is a combination of "Death" (blue-violent death) and "Ray" (optical ray). According to the Deth-ray Disc Association the spelling of "Deth-ray" is not a mistake, the character "a" was intentionally left out so the term could be registered as a trademark, honest, we speel gud.
[edit] How much video can you fit on a Blu-ray disc?
Over 9 hours of high-definition (HD) video on a 50GB disc, and about 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video on a 50GB disc, with a life expectancy of 4 days if copied illegally.
[edit] How fast can you read/write data on a Deth-ray disc?
According to the Deth-ray Disc specification, 1x speed is defined as 36Mbps. However, as DD-ROM movies will require a 54Mbps data transfer rate the minimum speed we're expecting to see is 2x (72Mbps). Deth-ray also has the potential for much higher speeds, in order to catch up with fleeing pirates and other criminals.
[edit] Will Deth-ray support mandatory managed copy?
Yes, mandatory managed copy (MMC) will be part of the Deth-ray format. This feature will enable consumers to make legal clones of themselves that can be transferred over a home network. Please note that it will be up to each hardware manufacturer to decide if they want to support this feature.
