| | Posted: | | | | SCIENTISTS have unveiled new DVD technology that stores data in five dimensions, making it possible to pack more than 2000 movies on a single disc. A research team at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne used nanotechnology to boost the storage potential nearly 10,000-fold compared with standard DVDs, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. "We were able to show how nanostructured material can be incorporated on a disc in order to increase data capacity, without increasing the physical size of the disc," team leader Min Gu said.

| | Posted: | | | | I don't think Blu-ray has anything to fear. Such reports seem to come every week where yet another company found a way to store more data on DVD's. Most of the time, however, these technologies have virtually no chance of finding their way to the homes of private consumers, due to the increased production costs, etc. From the articel: Quote:
The researchers are still working out the speed at which the discs can be written on, and say commercial production is at least five years off So at least still 5 years to go and no idea on the commercial pricing yet of both the discs as well as the players. | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | Commercial production at least five years off? I don't see what Blu-ray would have to fear by that at all. By then the next-gen holographic discs (already in development for years now) will be poised to come about commercially. | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | Well, for one thing there is no commercial value in putting 2,000 movies on one disc. Why would you do that when you can sell one movie for $30 instead? But it would be nice to have for lossless video in 4K.  | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

But it would be nice to have for lossless video in 4K. And this is the final answer....as Blu is proving to us. It seems like only yesterday when we were remarking on how cool it will be to get entire TV series and box sets on one Blu disc. Never confuse total storage capacity with perceived consumer value. |

| | Posted: | | | | Forecast: After support is added for data recovery in the case of a small scratch, the estimated storage size of a single disc is 8.54 GB. |
