Great read - good part starts at post#6 -

sounds feasible...

anyways - its sort of out there, but what if eh?

interesting but what kind of third dimensional keeping of the codes did he mean?

That was his secret. ;)

I've always wanted to code my own codec. Something like the FLAC codec that's really awesome. the quality is awesome.


about this story.. I think this technology is out there already. sould check the opensource community.. (in other words This is BS)


philips has been working on a 3d dimentention storage cd for some while now. they have it work it's only on beta..

here some crazy facts.

- on 1 cd there could be over 400GB
- reading this cd would be 100 times faster the the fastest Harddisk(now).
- writing this cd would be faster then a harddisk
- It uses two lasers(blue and red)

This story made me think about it :P

I want to believe it, but since compression algorithms are my thing, I don't.

The idea implies that 1 kilobyte of information can potentially represent an infinite number of movies? Interesting, but simply impossible (without any extra data).

found some more info, interesting theory and i wonder if its all true. :book:

That's actually a true story. We have someone like that in our country as well, Guillaume Defossé. He didn't used the binary language, but a new digital language consisting of more than 72000 signs. Somehow, that way, he managed to amazingly compress files. For example, he could compress an entire movie from 700MB to 30MB. He could create a picture with the size of our country that would fit on 1 floppy disk, and tons of that cool stuff. There was an article about it some time ago in my favourite multimedia magazine - it also mentioned Jan Sloot, but he died suddenly and no traces of his compression technique was ever found. Guillaume Defossé is still alive, though I haven't heard anything about his compression anymore. Hell, he could become richer than Bill Gates on this.

interesting... but I'm too dumb to understand any of it :P

FLAC really isn't that clever - lossy algorithms are typically much much more complex than lossless ones

I wanna start simple
