Curious... but I still don't see why you wouldn't just be using portable HDD at this point? Optical media is still primarily a delivery format, not a terribly viable production format.

I think optical is still useful as an archival format. Removeability is still nice too, if the drive dies, get a new drive and still read your disks. If using hard drives to acquire footage, then I'd be most comfortable if drives were mirrored.

The RED team claims they can compress 2 hours of 4K footage plus 5.1 surround sound audio onto a DVD-9 and play it back on this new device. I call bullsh*t, but if their wavelet codecs are advanced enough, it might be possible. (It's impossible with DCT codecs like H.264)
