Thanks Biz.
I was meaning Blue-Ray. I read somewhere that the recorders won't be
backward compatible so you won't be able to play DVD discs in a
Blue-Ray recorder and it's price tag will be high. With the low cost
of blank DVD's and DVD recorders falling in price it may not be in big
demand when Blue-Ray arrives. I noticed that the dual layer discs are
not popular due to their price.
