2 disc set - on one disc!

All the talk about higher quality or even uncompressed on the new 500GB BDs... Higher quality, sure! To a point - ever try to run an uncompressed HD video??
I did, once... ~248mbps uncompressed 44 second, 10.3GB(once unpacked) video named factory.avi

WAY SLOW download.
My laptops play blu-rays perfectly! This?
Laptops(obviously) could not play it.
Someone with a monster computer can probably play it, but no way a STB will play it.

We should hope for mulit-movie discs or whole season discs

10.3 gigs at 44 seconds? wow so a 2 hour uncompressed movie must be in the terabytes.
