HD burn allows 1.4 GB of data to be written on regular CD-R. however, no other drives currently can read HD burned CD-Rs... Sanyo, however, is planning to distribute the technology so that other drives can read them. also, only high quality (i.e. taiyo uden) CD-Rs can be used for HD burn....cheapo media will have errors.
