Anobody found a link of what they are trying to sell (apart from an encryption scheme)? Out of curiosity, I went through the linked website and apart from saying "we are better than Blu-ray" there is nothing concrete about what they are doing. The (probably all self-written) comments are downright funny, though. I couldn't find a single line of substance... |
Apparently noone followed up on my question so I spent an entire afternoon trying to find out what this is all about. This proved to be a rather frustrating day as of all the 4-500 links checked, pretty much every link fell back to the press release itself. There was no single independent link with substance I could locate or even a picture of what it is all about (and a domain name search apparently ended in Tennesse swampland as somebody else found out)... makes you go hmmmm.. vapourware anyone?
At least I can guess what the magical cheap 100GByte disc will turn out to be. The only interesting guy in the dreamstream troupe who has the required knowledge in the field is a Dr E. Levich who has been a proponent for every multilayer optical disc system proposed in the past 20 years. He did push (still pushes?) HD VMD which is a four layer DVD disc holding 20GByte data (a working system apparently was shown at a (Blu-ray) conference). So without any further leads I conclude they pepped up the system to read an about 20 layer standard DVD disc. Such a device could be built on (slightly modified) DVD manufacturing lines and read by common (but modified) red laser DVD readers as promised in the ad blurbs.
If this is really what dreamstream is trying to sell against Blu-ray? hahahahahahahahahahaha
