Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia has developed a DVD that holds 1.6 terabytes of data — or about 2,000 movies.

All this is made possible by adding a fourth and fifth dimension to an optical disc. By doing this, a range of different colored wavelengths can read the same physical location. Current DVDs use a red laser, while Blu-Ray DVDs naturally use a blue laser.

Researchers at Swinburne University say that a commercial release is still five years away, even though an exclusive agreement has already been signed with Samsung.

Now that would be so cool is you could do it with a re write DVD for storing stuff sure would cut down on all the dayum DVD's and CD's i have in the office. As well as make it much easier to find yer stuff you backed up( dreams of the day )
