'...data capacity of a single DVD to increase from 4.7 gigabytes up to one petabyte (1,000 terabytes)'

as long as the system can use current tech DVDs and the writer isn't stupid $$

...Are the current drives going to be able to read any sort of HD file found on these new DVDs and keep up to play the required bitrate?

Except it's not a DVD. It would be a new format, the same shape as a DVD. Much like CD's, DVD's and Blu-Rays are all the same shape.

The article doesn't really make sense. Better ways to store large amount data are always needed, but I don't understand why they are comparing it to a DVD.

To be honest, this article says almost next to nothing. Have they taken an existing DVD and done something to it to expand it? Have they created an entirely new format? I feel they are using CD's and DVD's purely to remain understandable to an audience of idiots when it comes to explaining disposable, digital storage for the sake of the article.

If it would make it's way to mainstream it would have to work with either DVD or BluRay readers because introducing a 3rd format into industry would be fucking idiotic.

Creating new formats to be read by current lasers in consumer readers is nothing new.

The NSA's Utah Data Center could use some of these to store all that data.

What they should really say is "we have a cool idea on how to increase the storage capacity of optical media"
