More Blu-Ray writers coming out
Companies are beginning to release Blu-ray writers. LG is the latest to release their Blu-Ray Disc Rewriter.
The capacity of these discs currently is up to 50 GB. This may sound like a lot of storage space and more than you would need, but think of backing up a hard drive, many of which are now 60 GB to 80 GB. Also the quality of sound and video can be a lot higher when you have more space to put them on. Think about the camcorders with the possibility of writing to such discs similar to the ones now that will write to a DVD.
LG's drive is able to use all previous optical disc format including DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM. This allows any blank discs to be used in the drive. The drive is able to burn at 4x speed, while most are only recording at 2x.
