Actually, 9.4 Gb DVD-RAM disks are available right now and the DMR-E20 is already able to use these. Using a 9.4 Gb DVD-RAM disk, you can record up to twelve hours on one disk (using both sides). Matsushita and Panasonic are also doing extensive research on the use of a new blue laser that will allow us to record at higher densities. Compared with the infrared and red lasers that are currently in wide use, blue lasers use a shorter wave length. As the laser’s wavelength decreases, the recording density (actual recording time) increases.
