Ritek touts 10 layer HD DVD, Blu-ray media

ritekmedia.jpg10 layer HD media? Yes ladies and gentlemen, we have it, and we owe it all to Ritek. Available in both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray flavours, these delicious discs offer up to 250GB of storage… Not bad a for a few inches of… well… whatever these new fangled discs are constructed out of. Who knows… perhaps corn? Back to the point, Ritek have really pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this one.

According to Engadget, we should all go and “forget single-layer media, that dual-layer stuff that was all the rage last year, and even the triple-layered discs that got announced just days ago.”

All-in-all, a major shock announcement! The fact that Ritek boasts that they can apply their technology to both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray is a nice little bonus too.  No word on pricing or availability, but in your face, Toshiba.

    Next time Doug.?.  Wow! The Fanboy in you is glimmering through your blu ray exterior.  Storage capacity has always been a sony tout.  Yet you throw it in Toshiba’s face and then say next time I will be MORE bipartisan.  With HD DVD embracing VC1 with at least two to three times the compression rate of Blu Ray’s mpeg 2.  (And at least 3 time the quality.  The dual plus layer disc kick blu ray in the face 10 times once again.

    Quality versus quanity.
