All your movies on a single DVD: study

Australian researchers have developed a new type of DVD with a storage capacity 10,000 times that of current systems. The DVD is coated with gold nanorods, allowing them to encode information not only spatially but also using different optical wavelengths and polarization angles. They are currently working out issues with the speed at which data can be written and expect that a commercial version of the system will not be seen for more than 5 years.
