I wonder if I'd have enough things to fill a DVD? Probably not unless I started making uncompressed print resolution photos, animations, and ridiculously detailed 3D models. But still it's cool, more space is always a good thing. Now I wonder how long it would take to burn one of those. Considering that I still have to go with slower speeds to reliably burn a CD (which at 700 or so MB takes about an hour), the same must be true for the DVD... Which means, it would probably take a good couple of hours... Dunno about burning 'em on a regular basis, but would definitely make a good way of backing up a HD. Hmmm... 100GB DVD... ponders for a moment I wonder if they're doing something with multiple layers for data storage. And then perhaps changing the angle of the R/W lasers and taking advantage of refraction in a material... My guess - since I'm no optics engineer. That seems like it would work with minor modification to existing DVD system components. Speaking of drivespace, I wonder how much GB Renderosity has. It must be a pretty big number considering the amount of images they host. It would make an interesting site statistic for the curious.
