The technology, which is called "Low to High" (LTH, in groove recording), was included in "Blu-ray Disc Recordable Format Ver.1.2" specifications. Of course, a problem right now is that these new discs will not be compatible with any of the burners that are currently on the market.
The technology will help top reduce the cost of making the discs because it eliminates the need for large-scale manufacturing plant investments, and will allow older modified CD-R and DVD-R manufacturing equipment to be used as part of the process.
