Although the HD DVD standard is final, engineers continue developing the technology. At the CES 2007, Ritek revealed their high definition optical disc process extended both competing high definition formats to ten layers, increasing capacity to 150 GB for HD DVD, however, the major obstacle is that current reader-writer technology may not support the additional data layers.

And they wonder why blu-ray and hd-dvd hasn't taken off, besides the high prices, two formats and now not even out a year and your new player won't work....I'm sure glad I didn't buy one!!!!! I almost did...
