Feel the Burn
Goodbye DVD. I am, like, so glad I never got around to dumping all my vinyl to CDs.  Nor even, god forbid, did I move to transgress the law to carve out the 150 or so DVDs it would take, a tedium I wasn’t relishing, saving it for retirement as it were.
 So it’s with this in mind that I’m cheering news via
Blu-Ray UV-based disks due for home markets as early as next fall.
That’s starting to sound almost manageable until you learn that another mere 5 years down the technopath will see the first production of even newer MODS that will cut my task down to less than 10 single-sided disks. Best of all, they are even backward compatible with those few disks I do burn …
MODS disks would cost approximately the same to manufacture as an ordinary DVD and that any system playing them would be backwards compatible with existing optical formats — meaning that CDs and DVDs could be played on a MODS system. Dr Török believes that the first disks could be on the shelves between 2010 and 2015 if his team are able to secure funding for further development.
Funding? Hey, I’m in. Do they take PayPal? [TeledyN - :: have blog - will travel ::]
