BD

BD may refer to any of the following:

1. Short for Blu-ray discBD or BD-ROM, is an optical disc format developed by thirteen consumer electronics and PC companies. These companies include Dell, Hitachi, Hewlett Packard, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Sony, and TDK. Blu-ray was first introduced at the CES on January 4, 2006, stores up to 25 GB single-layer disc (50 GB on a dual-layer disc), and are the same size as a standard CD. The picture shows a blue laser in a Blu-ray disc player.

Blu-ray was first backed by Apple, Dell, Philips, Pioneer, Sony, Sun, TDK, and other companies mentioned above. On February 19, 2008, Blu-ray beat out HD DVD in the high-definition disc format wars.

What did the Blu-ray replace?

The Blu-ray discs and drives are an upgrade and replacement to the CD and DVD discs and drives.

Can a Blu-ray player read a DVD and CD?

Yes. A Blu-ray player can read Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and CDs.

Can a DVD player read a Blu-ray disc?

No. Blu-ray is the newer, more advanced technology, a DVD player cannot read a Blu-ray disc.

2. BD is also chat slang for a big deal.

 

Chat Slang

Chat slang or netspeak is a method of typing long words and phrases as short one-to-four letter words and is also used by people who have difficulties spelling. For example, instead of typing out "are", someone may only type "r." Although chat slang can be easier for you and sometimes faster to type, it makes it difficult to read and cause people to ignore you. Below, is an example of someone saying "Are you smart because I need someone smart".

r u smart bcoz i need some1 smart

When chatting or typing anything on the Internet, unless you're talking to another user who uses chat slang we highly suggest you type out the full words and always try to use proper capitalization and punctuation. Although this may take more time to type it saves time for all the other users reading it. One exception to this rule is users using text messaging or any messaging services sent over cell phones or other devices that do not have their own keyboard.
