176w ago - Sony and Panasonic have developed a new technology that will allow the layer capacity of Blu-ray disc to be increased from 25GB to 33.4GB per layer.
Apparently, exisiting devices would just need a simple upgrade to read all 33.4GB or 66.8GB per disc.
To quote: "Sony and Panasonic have announced that they have developed a new optical disc evaluation technology that will allow the layer capacity of Blu-ray media to increase from 25GB to 33.4GB using existing Blu-ray laser diodes.
This would presumably allow existing Blu-ray hardware - including Blu-ray Disc players and burners - to play the proposed discs with a simple firmware upgrade.
Currently, disc evaluation is accomplished by analyzing disc jitter, but at higher capacity, that technique becomes unreliable. Sony and Panasonic resolved this by developing i-MLSE (Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation) evaluation index, which can perform the same function as jitter but at higher capacities."
Well this is no good. I tried installing Rebug D-Rex 4.30.2 but kept getting an error that it's corrupt from the main update screen and from the recov...
Neither can I, that would be freaking awesome!
we fighted 3 years ago what will be the dvd son. dvd hd or blue ray. i said blue ray because its from the developers of the dvd
great news. cant wait for the first blue ray movie where you can choose between 3 different cameras the whole movie
But I think not even MGS4 or FF13 have used the full 50GB of a BD.
