You Think Blu-ray Is Exciting?

Richard,

I believe you meant 1.5 terabyte disc (not GB).

The system seems promising; toward the end of the article it anticipated that it could take a
decade before it reaches the consumer.

In a decade many things can happen, even HDTV could be upgraded, and near future blue-laser Hi Def
DVDs be superseded.

Even now the blue laser technology has reached 200GB disc capacity, and several hybrid discs
inventions were introduced over the last year.

If my memory serves me correctly back in 1999 there was company that was promoting their invention
of 100 layers on a single disc, their name was something like FMD, I probably have the information
on my files, they certainly exceeded 7 years earlier all the newer blue laser technology that has
not reached implementation yet.

So is not in the hands of R&D labs that creates a great format to make it adopted, but in the mass
support of the CE and computing industry, and certainly the content providers.

The history has shown that for that support to be obtained, all the specs and standards approved,
all the lobbies completed, and of course, all the content protection issues resolved, no R&D format
invention can survive the waiting and would probably be different at the end of such long process,
especially when we reach image levels of the perfection to HDTV.

Thanks for the link.

Best Regards,

Rodolfo La Maestra

With all the traffic over HD-DVD and the format wars now they are
talking about a 1.5GB disc

Personally, I think these press releases do us more harm than good. The
last thing the general public needs to hear is that once HD bluray
whatever comes out, there's something else on the horizon to make it
obsolete.

Stick to discrete steps and space out major innovations. That is, unless
the companies making the products are willing to a) make it seamless and
backwards compatible and/or b) make it a free upgrade

I love to read those physics papers, but I don't see the value in Motley
Fool reporting this info.

I do see a huge paradigm shift for consumers of home entertainment as
they come to learn that HDTV is very similar to computers; the hardware
gets outdated within a few years and there is always something better on
the horizon.
