TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese electronics conglomerate Sony Corp (news - web sites) and Toppan Printing Co Ltd have developed a new optical disc, made mostly from paper, that they say will be compatible with next-generation DVD technology. In a joint news release distributed late Thursday, the two companies said the new disc was comprised 51 percent of paper, enabling lower production costs.

Is it more long lasting than current DVDs?

Anyway from the EETimes article:

the disk technology is still at laboratory stage, and volume production technology has to be developed for practical applications, Toppan said.

I am shocked when I saw Gigli DVD in Taiwan... the movie is not shown in any movie theater here AFAIK, for obvious reason. The DVD is even sold at a pretty high price, even higher than hit movies such as the Pirates of the Caribbeans.
