It's only for companies who have exceptional storage requirements and not for mass production FYI
All current optical media (CD, DVD ,and Blu-Ray ) use a stamping process to manufacture a disk in under 4 seconds.
HVD is produced one at a time by a slow writing process so it would be useless for mass production but good for data archiving which is written incrementally.
Regards 4K movie format (sometimes used for digital studio editing of cinema film) experimental Blu-ray at 100Mb( which is claimed to be readable with firmware updates on current drives) or certainly the 200Gb 6 layer format can in theory allready do that or better.
My favourite format would be 2K48 (2048x1080@48 fps)or 3D formats it would be nice to see these on blu-ray and keep it backwards compatible.
Note 4K is higher resolution than current 1080p and 2K digital cinema cameras , 35mm film can only hope to reach this resolution under ideal conditions. From watching Blu-rays most Movies have focus or grain which result in resolutions around 1080p and sometimes lower. 1080p (1920x1080) and 2k (2048x1080) are good enough for a normal cinema screen which is usualy over 20 meters wide.
4K would be good for 100mm Omnimax or 70mm film resolution - could be good for full sourround 180 degree viewing experience.
