The IT guy at my last job told me about this potential technology...9 yrs ago!

They sure are taking their sweet time.

is he suggesting a 500GB disc is enough to hold the equivalent of my entire blu-ray collection?

I think he's implying that right now, it's only 500gb, but that's only scratching the surface of this new technology.

They Claim 500 GB but whats the true size after format 410 GB

saljr · 04-28-2009, 06:45 PM

500Gb for the new format 2160P.

Tempest · 04-28-2009, 06:47 PM

I think 3.9 TB is the max they can go to eventually on a standard disc size.

See my post from another thread today. 500GB blu ray disc. This was created back in 08-2008

brettallica · 04-28-2009, 10:25 PM

Blu-rays can already do nearly that amount. Hopefully this is just a tip of the iceberg type of deal. I can't wait for the Pioneer 400GB Blus to be released.

Hopefully this year. Are there any BD over 2 layers out right now?

no, just in the lab

rushnerd · 04-29-2009, 02:40 AM

Sounds like a ton, but in reality it would be the standard size for the 2K format movies, and that's with compression of course. 2K makes BR literally look like a joke though!

And then of course there's a direct 4K transfer from the RED digi-cameras, they have a type of Red-Ray player already but I doubt they have the media for it, 4k quality is around 1GB/s. Forget capacity, BANDWIDTH is your main culprit here!

Digital cinema FTW

Stop me if I'm wrong, but that is basically what Blu-ray is.

rushnerd · 04-29-2009, 02:58 AM

I keep forgeting when people refer to 2k and 4k res they aren't talking about vertical pixel count, I believe it's horizontal so I may have spoke too soon. If anyone who knows something about RED cameras wants to speak up here...
