interesting comments...........

Parker pointed out that MPEG-1 would allow for 82 minutes of recording per Gb,
where as MPEG-2, at an average bit rate of 5 Mbit/s, would give only 26 min/Gb. She
said any DVD-recorder would not need to record using the current DVD format as
long as it played DVD-Video discs. She then went on to say that she had heard that a
CD-RW drive was in the offing that would read DVD discs.

Forget waiting three years for recordable DVD. We have capable technology now.
Who will be the first with a multi-disc MPEG-1 video disc recorder (VDR) that
records onto CD-RW media and plays DVD-Video discs?

And numbers................
