So it looks like the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray generation of disc are going to get cut short or worse a new format war as this technology and HVD are poised to to come out in the next year or so. (Oops HVD isn't suppose to slated to come out to consumers until 2010)
Here's a question which company is in charge of this format because I have just been rereading the information on HVD and it sound simular. Uses red laser, but instead of using pits like normal disks do they use the entire layer to store the information so more of the disc can be used. And the transfer rate and size of one layer is far beyond what Blu-Ray can do. The only difference is HVD needs a special disc were as this doesn't, so it may be one of the companies usin the reading system and applying it to normal disc (or they are using a hybrid disc and since it uses the same tech)
1Gb/sec 300GB/layer
