JVC develops 25GB Blu-ray/8.5 GB DVD combo disk technologyPosted by Herbert on 25 December 2004 - 10:12 - Source: JVCA few weeks ago we reported that Toshiba & Memory Tech has developed a DVD/HD-DVD Hybrid Disk, a disk that offers 4.7 GB DVD and 15 GB HD-DVD storage capacity. Many of us thought that this was the final step for HD-DVD to become the next standard for movies.But today we can report from another real improvement around Blu-ray which can probably change the opinions of the Hollywood studios, especially from the studios which haven’t made their choice.JVC was able to develop a Blu-ray/DVD combo disk that combines BD-ROM and DVD-DL, the disk offers a storage capacity of 25 GB for Blu-ray and 8.5 GB for DVD. The development of a new proprietary high-performance reflective film that reflects the blue laser used for Blu-ray, but is transparent to the red laser used for DVDs and the difference in the disk structure (BD 1.1mm + 0.1mm protective layer, DVD 0.6 mm + 0.6 mm protective layer) made it possible to use a triple layer structure for the development of such a 33.5 GB combo disk.The company is also working on a combo disk that offers 58.5 GB (50 GB BD-ROM and 8.5 GB DVD) capacity.
