More data on your Blu-ray disc may be possible soon

Sony has recently revealed that you may be able to squeeze in as much as 33.4GB of data onto your blu-ray disc via a technology called i-MLSE (Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation). What’s good about this technology is that it is entirely software-based. This means that all your current hardware and settings remain unchanged. i-MLSE is a technology that estimates and compensates for the read error rate of a disc on the fly. i-MLSE involves complex calculations in order to determine error rates. With recent hardware advancements, Sony comments “It should be possible to process in real time, just like jitter.” From that statement, it looks like you need a pretty decent processor and other hardware that is capable of processing whatever information this technology involves.

Sony is currently proposing the i-MLSE technology to the Blu-ray Disc Association.
