MD: MD Data 2 - why can't it be marketed as a Zip killer?

2001-04-07 Thread Simon Mackay
Hi everyone! I have read about the MD Discam on the Sony Web site and it only can hold up to 20 minutes worth of video on one MD Data2 disc which can hold 640 Mb of data. If Sony improved the disc access time for MD Data so that it is comparable to a hard disk, they could end up with a product

it says MD Data2 discs so I'm guessing that they're just usin' some sort of new compression It would have to be more than that. It still holds five times as much actual data than the audio MD. I think they're also doing work at the actual read/write level with putting sectors closer together
