Well when people think blueray, they think of the physical discs, so its not been mentioned by vloggers much.
So when you say you think its the future, do you mean on the net as well? If so, you are really talking about the video codecs that blueray uses, not the format itself which is bound to physical discs. Blueray supports mpeg2, h264 (also knows as AVC), and VC-1. Mpeg2 is not really considered suitable for the web, but h264 and vc-1 are both used on the net a lot today, albeit not normally at very high resolutions yet. At both normal and HD resolutions, here are your options for using these formats on the web: h264 can be played via quicktime in the browser, and by the forthcoming flash moviestar version. vc-1 can be played by windows media player, and silverlight. vp6 can be played by flash. All of them offer fairly comparable quality & filesizes, vp6 and h264 will probably have a huge advantage due to the dominance of flash these days, but if Silverlight ever catches on then VC-1 may find a place in the scene too.
