What you have described is a serious drawback from the point of view of the
manufacturers. I doubt that any company will do what you suggest--put more
time on the disc. Time is what they're selling. A single HD DVD with 4
times as much program material will have to sell for as much as 4 DVDs.
Have you ever wondered why 4-CD sets are never sold as a single DVD? It
certainly is possible. I've burned DVDRs with anywhere from 6 to 160 hours
of music, depending on compression choice.
