The real point that seems lost on most people is that these guys just doubled the amount of information that can be stored on these disks.

You are assuming that burning information on one layer will not effect reading the other layers. I don't think we know that yet.

Well TDK has disc media which can go up to 200 gigabyte by putting multi layers on the Media:

TDK develops 2X, 100GB Blu-ray Disc prototype

*****************************AN EXCERPT *************************

TDK Corp. has developed a prototype Blu-ray Disc that can store twice as much data, and record it at twice the speed, as existing Blu-ray Discs.

******************************

To achieve the higher capacity, TDK added two additional recording layers to the disc to take it up to four layers. Blu-ray Disc stores 25GB on each recording layer and the standard currently includes single layer and dual layer versions.

Well.. I assume all the time. And I'm not going to tell you where I work.

But really, I thought the whole point of the article was that HDDVD and Blue-ray could be printed on the same side of a disc. If the layers interfered it wouldn't be much of an invention.

we already have dual-layer DVD's and it works fine.
