"...Hitachi and Asahi Optical Co., Ltd. corporation developed the object glass 1 for the next generation high density DVD. This technology improves the reliability of the optical head and makes cost reduction possible compared to the current DVD standard. With the new technology you can have recording capacity of the both sides up to 100GB over a 12cm disc.

The current DVD recording offers up to 4.7GB in one disk side of a 12cm disc. With the research and development which is directed to further large capacity densification, the illuminant for record playback wave length conversion and high resolution conversion of the object glass for the optical head and multilayer conversion of disk record layer lifted recording technology up to 100GB. Single size discs will hold up to 25GB by combining 2 stratifications with the diameter 12cm disk..."

Cool! SO that means we can already record DVD directly with one disc without sacrifcing quality. The next step is going to be to wait for those burners to come down a little price wise. You're just all over this place susie, huh?

Waiting game? We always have to "WAIT" for things
Whats the point to burn DVD movies when the cost will be the same if you were buying the original DVD movies ? Maybe the price of blank DVD will come down eventually but by then we will all become old people.

Maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell. Look at how the price since the first burner came down from over $1000 and 5-10 bucks per disk to less than $200 and about 10 cents to 1 dollar per disc. It will be a while before that happens with DVDs but at the increasing pace that technology keeps changing with other advances who's to say what will happen. It wouldn't surprise me if DVD-RAM manufacturers collude with the film industry to keep prices high enough to make it less attractive to copy the disc than to buy it.
