There was a thread somewhere here about dvd-9 burners,becoming the next big thing, but I think the market might skip all that and head for blue ray Next year we all might be burning our divx collection on merely 4 or 5 of these beauties |

there are 2 different formats of the next gen dvd players/burners. one is compatible with current dvd media, one is not. The hd-dvd is compatible will hold 30 gig , blu ray will hold up to 50 gig and is not compatible. I believe the only way to "force" compatiblity is to include a red laser head. There are 2 ways to do this, include and extra head, that is pretty simple but not cheap, or put both on one head. Only one company can produce a head with both red and blue/violet lasers on it, some Japanese company I think. They produced their first successful head Dec 2003 or Jan 2004 I believe. Still not being mass produced. If it goes the blu-ray route, every cd & dvd you own will be rendered useless eventually. The manufacturers will not keep dvds backward compatible forever. |

i just think its amusing that they are clear and look like those discs they use on spindles to protect the other cds. Gonna have loads of fun when they come out. "This disc is broken can I have it replaced?" |
