3 Layer DVD
Did anyone else hear about the 3 layer HD DVD that was just created? Sound great to me, because it’ll play on both HD DVD players and regular DVD players. You could record 2 layers of HD and one of SD DVD, or visa-versa. Now instead of having to buy 2 copies of the same movie, they could master SD and HD versions on the same disc!

Looks like Toshiba is trying to cover the bases. An alternative red laser technology for HD DVD, called VMD is making moves with movie producers in Europe, India, China and recently Hollywood. I think they are up to 8 layers but say 20 is possible.

Holy mulit-layer DVD, Batman! 8 to 20 layers! That’s just crazy talk.

Might sound crazy, but the info I have seen says it is robust, available now without the large scale retooling that blue ray requires. Also it is cheap as current DVD players will require only minor mods to be compatible.
Also when blu ray is more mature, they can do multi layer in blue ray with capacities getting towards 200 gig.
