HD-burn technology

[ZowieHowie]

I was reading something about a new technology called HD-burn that allows you to burn 1.4 gigs of data on a regular CD-R.

Was wondering if anyone has a drive that supports this? I'm interested in it, but dont know which drives support it.

I havent heard of it. If there is Im sure its not a standard so no drives probably support burning with it or can others read it.

Sanyo Japan unveils HD-Burn technology
by News Editor

The new "Super Combination Drives" will have the following features:
Can record twice the capacity of a conventional CD-R media.
The high density recording technology "HD-BURN7quot can record twice the capacity of conventional CD-R media. This drive is ideal for storing large volume data such as video data.
Write and read speeds, capable of Maximum data write speed of 36 times and Max data reading speed of 80 times.
HD-Burn mode has a data write speed of 36 times and a data read speed of 80 times using the CLV (Constant Linear Velocity) format.
Supports BURNProof technology, preventing recording fault due to Buffer Under Run errors.
Plan to make compatible with CD-RW media.
CD-RW media will be supported by firmware modification in the future. It will be available to record the data on ordinary CD-RW media at a maximum speed of 24 times in HD-BURN mode.
Support for application software.
With regard to the recording application software, the "B's Recorder GOLD" (BHA) and the "Nero" (AHEAD) will support "HD-BURN". Can easily use "HD-BURN" recording by the use of Video authoring feature and DVD Video recording feature using the above application software.
It is unknown when the drives will be released, or marketted outside of Japan. For more information and one of the best cartoons ever, visit the Sanyo BURN-Proof website.

Correct - The Optorite DVD burners have it.

If I were you, I'd avoid it like the plague. Because the discs are the same, HD-burn achieves its "amazing" storage size by trading error correction for storage(space that would normally be used for ECC bits is instead used to store more data). The result is a disc that becomes useless the moment you sneeze.

Actually it is more than a year old. I suppose the quick adoption of DVD recording has hampered its popularity. I would like to have the option.

I heard of something similar a while back.
A 24x Sony HD CDR writer. That could write 1.3gb to any CDR, and 1.6gb to special disks.
Never saw any for sale though.
