Higher capacity CD-R standard soon to come

While reading on the Philips site, I found this information provided by the Royal Dutch Electronics. The topic of this message said "DVD+R Specifications", but I guess they made a little mistake, OR I am just not awake.


CD+R Part II Volume 2, Multi-Speed version 1.1 October 2001 is released for distribution.This document defines discs with recording speeds up to 16x, 20x, 24x and 32x nominal CD speed. To allow for recording at such speeds a second OPC area is added.

In this new version of the CD-R standard, some fields in the ATIP have been renamed, and/or reserved anticipating an new Higher capacity CD-R standard (>80 minutes playing time) which will appear within some month.


So as you see, they announce a new high capacity CD-R standard with over 80 minutes of playing time. CD-R lives !

About time they made some of those higher capacity CD's a standard. Now maybe we'll get some that can read them too.

How high is it going to get. I already use 900mb cd-r's but the burner can only overburn about 89:00 minutes of it.
