What ever happened to holographic disc? If we ever see 1TB discs we wouldn't need to compress movies at all.
Peter @ Feb 12th 2008 8:19PM
They would still need to compress them. I doubt that the hardware for playback would be able to playback 1080p @ 24fps or higher uncompressed with uncompressed audio (sorry, I don't remember off hand the uncompressed codec, I have a huge headache right now). The bitrates needed for sending this content would be tremendous, probably out of reach of the discs themselves. I am sorry, but even with 1TB discs, the video would likely be compressed :(.

No doubt, what ever did happen to holographic disks? If this company wanted to explore the next big thing..they should invest in SSD technology. Disks are great,but having something that you could take with you in your pocket that would never scratch and could hold 200gigs and has no moving parts seems more appealing to me. But hey, what do I I'm still waiting for my flying car..

@Doc
Cheap optical media and SSDs are so far apart in their application I don't even know how to respond.
You going to walk in to Blockbuster and grab a 200GB SSD for a movie rental?

/shrug.
just anover press release, never heard of those two firms hehe.
Sony & Co have been working on a futur "Holographic" technology too, to be mature by the time Blu Ray ends its life cycle.
But we're talking of about 10 years+ from now, so by then, who knows ? :)

"Apparently, they'd like to concoct suitable replacements for conventional LEDs in the lighting market and make a showing in the optical data storage arena, too."
Yeah, storage. I'm pretty sure that won't happen since HVD can store up to a estimated 7.6TB or more and doesn't have the flaws of the standard DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray discs. (Data reading, No spinning, and more powerful then a Blue Diode.) So I see no point in them try to do this. It's like VMD. (Pointless and who the hell wants Lazy Town in HD?) Now if they are talking about the average consumer then I could see it happen, but Hey that's Capitalism! :)

200 GB Blu-ray discs? It's unlikely we'll even see 100 GB ones.
Gus @ Feb 12th 2008 10:46PM
200Gb blu ray discs, profile 847 @ $2999
eric @ Feb 13th 2008 8:14AM
oooh... new optical movie technology... hopefully it will be bc with all HD DVD and blu-ray discs... i expect this to support 4k resolution... maybe this time all the studios and hardware manufacturers can work together.

Will it be called Bluu-raay then?
