This was also addressed in the article (because I thought the same thing
;p) the current writeables are not big enough to handle a movie, by about
1GB.. some time next year, they are planned to 'grow' - the guy who wrote
the article speculated that they will probably have to resolve the piracy
issue before then - good luck ;p
DVD-R drives are, from what I hear, pretty inexpensive at this point.. I'm
wondering if they work w/ apps like cdrecord, and just have a bigger
filesystem or something like that.. maybe I'll look into it.. they also
have DVD-RAM drives, which are pretty smooth.. kinda like CD-RW but I
think better.. hopefully this time around someone got the idea to just
save space for the filesystem and not worry about the multisession crap ;p
