True. However (and this is coming from a different angle than the codecs) say both HDDVD and BD manage to produce triple layer discs with 2x DVD layers + 1x HD layer. BD will have a big advantage.

We're some way off this of course (if we ever get there). [/b]
Well, anything more than 2 layers is out of spec for Blu-ray ROM for consumer playback. It's legal for computer storage only.

You also reach a point where it's really diminishing returns. Would a 3-4 layer BD be cheaper to produce than a 2+1 or 2+2 BD disc? Doubtful. So then there's little call for it.

What would require 75-100GB other than TV shows on disc?

I'm thinking real world apps here.
