Matsushita working on 100 GB DVD
updated 10:30 am EDT, Fri October 19, 2001
As noted previously, Matsushita is working on a new DVD format that could be capable of storing 50 GB per disc side using blue lasers. That capacity would allow for more than two hours of high definition video, according to Matsushita officials. Meanwhile, Plasmin is working on a DVD flavor that could eventually reach 1 terabyte of storage.

It's the content, stupid
All that storage and nothing to put on it. Now we can have HD versions of "Dr. Doolittle 2" and "Porkys"...oh joy.
No, seriously, all that space is great and I hope that it'll be put to good use. To find DVD movies that don't have extra content or wide screen versions as a choice when viewing is inexcusable (e.g. The Great Waldo Pepper and Sorcerer, just to name a couple that are not letter-boxed on the DVD).
