I think that people might be under estimating the importance of rewritable DVD. Its the beginning of DVD recording of virtually all kinds of data: movies, music, data storage. It will replace the tapes in camcorders, the VHS tapes of VCRs, hard drives, music cds (can be played on DVD-RAM), video tapes history. We will see the end of large hard drives, zip drives - magnet media in general. Optical will be the new standard. Video is just more type of data, and of course CUBE will be there to encode and decode it. This might take a little longer than 3 months, but we will get there. Why? Cost effectiveness, quality, speed.
