DVDR+W drives in shock 'no upgrade' situation. Er, we announced the impossible, apparently... [The Register]

I've been holding off on buying a DVD-R(W +RW ..--..--RW whatever) until the standards emerge. I think at one point there were five competing standards. Now that it is down to two, I may have to reconsider.

Also it's good to see that the hardware manufacturers may have to deliver on an upgrade/trade in path so that early adopters are not out of luck.

I want this tech so that I can record shows off of TV, cull the commercials and add chapter headings/episode names, and have my favorite shows archived. While some shows are coming out on DVD on a season by season basis, I'd like to have them archived as they go.
Here I go:
Given that there is PVR software that can monitor the Closed Captioning feed and alert you to the shows, why not have some voice recognition software that is archiving the dialogue into transcripts, which then is fed into a database/CMS so you can always find that line/episode that is plaguing you.
