Hello Billy and Peter. Yes, of course I know that Cube will be center piece to that puzzle. It is a subtle hint to Steve's question of #reply-12832512

Is recordable DVD around the corner?...Maybe not... ...we have DVD-RAM, recently demonstrated at CES as 4.7 billion byte capacity home video recording media and drive, due this summer from Panasonic. Media recorded on this drive will be logically and physically incompatible with most existing read-only drives and all standalone players... ...We have DVD-RW, recently demonstrated by Zenith and Pioneer in 4.7 billion byte capacity home recorders and media, due later this year. Media recorded on these drives will be logically but not physically incompatible with existing read-only drives and standalone players... ...In addition, we have DVD+RW, which was demonstrated at CES by invitation only and has been delayed until later this year, at the very soonest, as a 4.7 billion byte capacity home video recorder and media. Media recorded on this drive will purportedly be compatible both physically and logically with most existing read-only DVD drives and standalone players. None of the media for any of these drives will be recordable or rewritable on any of the others... ...And finally, we have DVD-R, which up until now stood alone with no competitors, and followed the excellent example of CD-R in placing the burden (and the initial cost) of compatibility on the media and the recorder, not on the existing hardware base. DVD-R, the one haven of sanity in the Bedlam of writable DVD formats, will henceforward be just as conflicted as the rest of the inmates. We will end up with no fewer than five mutually incompatible kinds of writable DVD media (not counting the earlier lower capacity versions, or two-sided Vs. one-sided media for each format)-DVD-R (authoring), DVD-R (general), DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW... emediapro.net
