Yes. Large capacity may have been an attraction to studios in earlier days, but with the ability of h264/VC1 to squeeze movies into far smaller spaces than previously thought, and the cost of higher capacity discs ratcheting up in a not so attractive manner, I personally suspect 30gb discs will remain the size du jour for a while yet. Please note however, two things:
o multilayer capacity is more or less meaningless in the computer market. Single layer burning is all that will be available for a long time, just as with DVD. A caveat on top of this caveat: the computer disc market is rather small compared to the TV playback area
o BD has other unique advantages, the main one being better DRM (whether the adaptive layer is used or not will remain to be seen).
