RJT> CA> support a write-speed double that of today's 50GB
RJT> CA> BD-Rs - or 6x (216Mbps), in other words.

RJT>I wonder what the longevity of those are?  Does the article say anything ab
RJT>that?

As a general Rule the MORE the Precision the Less the Reliability.
Read a blip somewhere recently that theree is a system comming that wil
make Blu Ray obsolete before it even gets out of the starting gate as
far a Video and Music goes.
It is a new Compression Tenique called H.264. It is capable of putting a
Complete High-Def Movie on one of todays Single Sided DVD disks. Adn
would allow Sattlite Service providers to fit Four HD channels in the
Bandwith required for one now.
