allows high capacity storage of up to 1 GB on a 700 MB disc. With this advanced feature, you can increase the maximum writing capacity up to 40%*

Hmmm. Interesting. I shall have to look into this... :spock:

Tommy Boomfiger was telling me that there's also one that is capable of storing upto 1.4gb on regular CD-Rs. Either way, I'm still gonna wait until DVD writers improve on speed, and get cheaper too.

I remember Sony had come out with a DD-CDR (Double-Density CDR) at one time, but I think only one drive supported it, so the idea was scrapped.

Plextor's idea sounds neat, but I'm fairly sure only Plextor drives will be able to read it.

I am tempted to getting one of these, the best place I can find to buy it right now is http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=wm4a2q228z3c9ag&id=1000837

Man.... that's sweet. But can normal CD-ROM read the 1GB stuffs off the media or the reader has to be Plextor?
