I edit video all day long, so I have an extremely good idea of how big uncompressed video is.
Also, Blue-Ray will be much better for non-video uses (data storage). The discs are much more durable than HD-DVD discs, and hold more data... So I am positive that Blu-Ray discs will be not be disappearing anytime soon. TDK already has a 4-layer 100 gig disc coming out next year.

Current players wont be able read them. Single and dual layers are the only specs for the current lasers used(for dvd, hd-dvd, and blueray)
Having to come out with a completely new line of players would do more harm then good to blueray on the comsumer market. Not that something like that would ever be used for movies anyways.
