About

BDWiki is a free educational encyclopedia covering all things Blu-ray, created by Æ Firestone for enthusiasts, developers, and newcomers interested in the format.

Since the lack of proper documentation and most of the technical specs are confidential, BDwiki was designed to be a comprehensive source of information. Most articles are provided with legitimate sources, and some are from original research.

This wiki will highly focus on the BDMV application format, but other things related to Blu-ray will be added to the wiki as well. Blu-ray's successor, Ultra HD Blu-ray will be on it's own separate category, since it's niche and adoption is slow, while BD is more widely adopted.

This website is new and growing, and while it's not perfect, we have over 45 articles and counting.
Unlike other wikis, strangers are not permitted to make edits on articles,  only Mr. Firestone can do that - this is to prevent vandalism. If you wish to provide additional valuable information for an existing article, you may comment below on the article's page with a legitimate source. You will be credited, unless anonymous. Read the Comment rules.
