200 GB BD's - Blu-ray Forum

cajmoyper · 07-02-2007, 12:41 AM

Does anybody know if these new 200 GB BD's are going to have four layers? If so, and they decide to put movies on those, we're not going to be able to watch them in our now players. Yeah?

I guess 200 Gb Blu ray´s have 8 layers...
and 50 Gb are good enough for a long time

it could take a while until the 200Gb Discs getting measure-suited...

TDK has also developped a 33GB per layer form that allows 3 layers for 100GB and 6 layers for 200GB.

you don't want a recordable disc with more than 2 layers

do you really want to keep increasing the possibility of failures?

I not sure how many layers, I heard 6. They wont put movies on them for a very long time. And no normal BD players will not be able to read them. Most can only read up to 2 layers, some even only 1.

ALL Blu-ray players can read 2 layers. Some burners can only burn 1 layer.

Exactly.

Many of the new release BD movies, are dual layer discs. Any blu-ray player can play them.

They will never put movies on them, ever

If there's enough content to need more than 50GB, they'll go to a second disc. The added value and non 80% coasters will be worth it.

Through the grapevine, 6 layers for 200 Gb, I seriously doubt that the Entertainment industry will ever look at them for movies, 50 gigs has been chosen as the standard and will stay that way. However, IT is drooling over these discs, for good reason. Also, once the manufacturing process for these discs stabilizes (ie before they hit the market) the discs won't have 80% failure rate, its not a stamping process therefore is much more consistent in production. We're not talking about 360's here

Don't be so quick to judge. It would be great to see movie trilogies or quadrillogies on a 200 GB disc. After all, this is all about high quality in less space, right? Pop in one disc and watch any of the movies, or all of them in sequence.

With firmware updates I'm sure we could play dual layer discs or better.
