Reggie has already confirmed that Wii U won't have Blu ray and will be running proprietary optical disc technology.

If it looks like a Bu-Ray, walks like a Blu-Ray and quacks like a Blu-Ray, its a Blu-Ray lol. Like I've said, it's going to be similar to the Wii and DVDs. All it would need to run Blu-Ray films is a Homebrew Media Player with the necccessary codecs. It will be a proprietary format, of course, but the dev and test kits will run on bog standard writable Blu-Ray discs and DVDs, hence the news of developers and publishers getting the hardware and software needed if they don't already have the hardware from PS3 projects.

Incorrect.  The discs and drives must come from Matsushita.   You can't take a blank Blu-ray writable disc, write game code to it and expect it to run on a Wii U test kit.

I explained in my post above what the optical media is.

 

And where have you heard of devs writing their Wii code to standard blank DVD's?   They were all written to special Matsushita discs, not off the shelf DVD media.
