projected prices for consumer dvd9 stuff??
Do any of you guys know the projected prices of dvd9 burners and/or blank dvd9 media?? DVD9 burning will be a reality this spring, and I'm really excited, but I'm curious as to how much it'll cost me.
if you dont know, how much would ya think??

kinda.
Currently, consumer grade blank dvd's can only hold 4.7gb of data. The average movie alone is prolly around ~5gb, plus menus and extra scenes, which are usually another 3gb, meaning that consumers have to downgrade the quality of the dvd to make a backup of it. In the spring[hopefully
], they will start producing dual layer blanks, which can be burned with a laser, which can hold almost 9gb of data. As of now, the only dvd's that can hold that much data [known as dvd9's, can hold approx 9.5gb] are commercially made, and are "stamped" together. I dont exactly know how they are "stamped" but I do know that they are not burned with a red laser like a cdr or dvdr.
the format will be coming from the "+r/rw" alliance, meaning hp and phillips and a few other brands will be leading the way in producing hardware that burns the dvds. verbatim will be leading the way in making blanks.

dvds are stamped using a similar process with CDs.
a negative image of the master CD is made then they use that to "press" or "stamp" the CDs
