According to the source Philips has released specs for a High Capacity Recordable Disc. The disc is based on Compact Disc techonology and can hold up to 98 minutes and 29 seconds of data for a 12 cm disc. For 8 cm disc the maximum playback capacity is approx. 30 minutes.
The new higher density format is not 100% compatible with the Red Book standard, but according to Philips a majority of current CD players are able to play it.
How far will the Compact Disc technology strech? And what actually is the point as DVD recordable technology seems to penetrate the market very rapidly.
