That's really cool bob . I was also recently reading about a new phone battery coming out that lasts weeks, and is powerful enough to jump start your car.
Technology is pretty cool ..... Sometimes.Steve

Re: Could this be the next generation optical disc format?
There may be a new optical format at some point but the switch for the majority of consumers is to downloads/streaming of video. Just like music alternative formats will hang on but for most downloads and streaming will be de rigueur.

Try to download Ultra hi-def video, 4K, 3D, and hi-res audio (7.1 lossless; uncompressed stems) from the cyber space into your computer (or Mac).
You'd do much better (faster and easier) to spy on anyone's emails and phone conversations and browsing's history!~ Bob ~

Re: Could this be the next generation optical disc format?
Unfortunately, the disc is fighting a losing battle. The only reason it is still barely viable is because of our crumbling infrastructure. It's not an issue of size.

Re: Could this be the next generation optical disc format?
There will always be "true videophiles & audiopiles" to purchase the physical hi-res/hi-def audio/video optical disc mediums.
...Count me in; you can count on that.~ Bob ~

Re: Could this be the next generation optical disc format?
Unfortunately you represent a very unprofitable portion of the industry.
As soon as people get fiber-to-home at gigabit+ speeds, downloading an entire blu-ray disc (bitperfect, mind you) will take less than 5 minutes.Main: McIntosh XRT1K MDA1000 MC402 | JL F113 | M2Tech HiFace | WireWorld Cabling | RGPC1200C | PPP

Re: Could this be the next generation optical disc format?
That is exactly the section which is represented by the audiophiles & videophiles. ...And not only from the software's perspective, but also the hardware.
You and I and us here we are contributing to a minuscule sector of the market, and also encouraging hi-end audio/video manufacturers to keep pushing the boundaries of the very best.
* Oil will be with us for still a very long time; even with all the pollution and catastrophic irresponsibilities of the rich corporations. Better energy (more efficient, no pollution, ...) is going to take a long time before it takes over oil.
...Electric cars, efficient batteries, air power, wind turbines, solar energy, wave's energy, cold (ice) energy, volcanic energy, ....
...The same is similar with our audio and video hobbies.
...And the world of communication; cell phones, and all that jazz.
* Here in Canada where I live; the three communication giants (Bell, Rogers, and Telus) have the total monopoly, and we are all contributing to their very healthy bank safes. ...Canadians are paying the highest fees (contracts) in the world! ...We are at their mercy! ...And I can go on and on and on and not just about Canada, and communication, and entertainment business, and clothing and food and electricity industries. ...Railroads, pipelines, trucking, boating, flying, .... ...Water, air, fires, underground (earth), ...things that we don't control because some are exploiting to their own profit, without being beneficial to all of us, except for Oppo.
Yes, fiber optic is the way, but that too we'll pay for it. ...And it ain't a perfect world.... No good to be slaved of our own environment; we all want to break free. ...And forever.
And we're always on the go; our homes are in luxury hotels, in the forests, in the jungles, up the mountains, on exotic beaches, ....
We want to see the world from various best places, and not just from only few ....
Freedom is travelling our beautiful planet; seeing all the nicest people, and not being slaves of our own limited surroundings.
...And sharing our wealth with the unfortunate ones. ...That'll be the day!~ Bob ~
