Thinner protection layer and a enclosure

[joel_reed]

I don't think people understand that coating isn't really the issue with the blu-ray discs, because I think the more logical questions we should be asking is the type of protection they are using. If you add more coating to the disc, I can't see how that will help the scratch resistance if the coating is scratched itself. The whole idea of protecting a disc by simply coating it with a thicker layer of something it already has seems like a waste of time. The caddie system would be the obvious choice for protection since there is nothing that can touch the disc itself in order to scratch it. Basically all I'm hoping is that they think about releasing two differant formats for Blu-ray users ... one in a caddie ... and one without a caddie. (Let the people decide, not the company)
