DVDs Could Hold 1,000x Capacity of Blu-rays With New Japanese Research

[BlueMax]

will there be a re-writable version like CD-RW and DVD-RW ?
If so I will buy a pack of ten, when like CD-RW and DVD-RW, the price is less than 10p a disc.

will the metal or whatever those Japs are doin be able to be used for hard-drives so we can store hundreds of terabytes?

Besides longetivity (will they only last five years and then you can't read them?) there is also the fact they will not be compatible with todays optical drives so you will have to buy a new drive that burns at 2x speed, since they always start at the bottom and make you buy up. Can you imagine trying to backup 25TB of data at 2x speed? Weeks I'd imagine. So if they can't do 500x as fast, then they're pretty much usless for writable storage. Sometimes it seems as if they do not think things thru before they act and end up spending tons of our money to produce usless junk. And believe me they get the money by charging us ridiculous prices for other stuff they already make. Data storage with no movable parts and long lasting media is the future in my opinion, so its a waste of time and effort.

Will the discs be readable on a standard dvd player?

Will these discs have to be manufactured or can you burn your own?

Calling it dvd after adding new materials is a bit misleading.

i'm guessing the laser will have to modifed to read to somewhat finer detailed disc's , if it is true
