red is releasing a player capable of 4k playback on dual layer DVDs by early 2009. http://www.red.com/nab/redray

of course you would need a display capable of 4k playback and content to go with it. thats where you will run into just a few issues . . .

only a select few can afford the 100,000+ 4k projectors this wouldnt become standard well into the future

The scaler alone will be a marvel to behold. The optics will probably be the price of a small car.
