RED RAY - larger optical media / PINK RAY :)

[Peter Majtan]

Holy what ever... Laguun, You are like a broken gramophone with no audio input. I DO hear what You are saying and I AGREE to that. But this is not the scenario we are talking about. One thing is to just "resale" and another to "buy, use the core, but modify heavily the processing boards, and then resale under Your own brand as a competition to the original format". If You can't see this point, there is nothing more to talk about...

Peace...

Peter,
the optical drives wont have modified processing boards.

They just work as a data source. SATA/PATA.

red wont tamper with laserfrequency, readout, crcs, the microlens, servos, linear/stepper motors, pick up assemblies, sata/pata bridge card etc. And thats all what inside a bluray or dvd-drive.

The *decoding* and the D/A are done outside of the drives - not in the drives.

In the case of a dvd/blu-ray-drive these functions are performed by a computer getting its bits and bytes - be it a HP workstation labeled as the manufacturer wants or be it a red product called redray.
I suppose everyone has understood this now.

Why do you think that?
There is nothing in the specification we know about that says it will be compatible with DVDs. The only thing we know is that it will record to standard media. Nobody has said that the recording is going to use anything like the normal DVD format, and there are several ways to record substantially more data with red lasers on standard DVD media. It will require significant modifications compared to a standard drive.
