While surfing a great site for tech stories, digg.com, I found a nice link over to a Wikipedia article about UHD. Developed by NHK, the Japanese TV network, the UHD "standard" is less standard and more experiment. With a frame size of 7,680 × 4,320, 18 minutes of uncompressed 60 FPS video would take up a full 3.5 terabytes. Terabyte, not gigabyte. In order to capture the overkill of great footage, researchers used an array of 16 HDTV recorders to capture some the test footage. The camera was built with four 2.5 inch (64 mm) CCDs. Basically, a gigantic camera, recording gigantic images at a gigantic framerate. Now, all that's left is for someone to develop a codec to shrink this down for my HVDs.Enough HD, I want UHD

1. wa-hoe mama. I'm going to say something and then make fun of myself in 10 years: we won't be seeing a multi terabyte disc for a very long time. haha.
