Hi David,
The (claimed) compatibility is backward only. One of these new-fangled
disk player will be able to read DVD and BluRay DVDs but not the other
way around.
I am very leery of any claims to archival permanence from a plastic
disk that stores 500GB.
Regards,
Spencer

I don't wish to re-open that debate. But, for those who prefer
discs, here's a note, from the today's BBC website, about GE's new
holographic disc, expected to hold 500GB per disc, and be compatible
with existing DVD & Blu-Ray formats.
