The Dual Layer DVD+R is Here 01/08/2004 08:20 PM

Verbatim to To Intro Dual Layer DVD+R Discs : The folks in the MPAA can't be too happy about this one. DVD copying programs are everywhere but unless you get fancy with video compression, your standard Hollywood flick wouldn't fit on a DVD+R, until now.

Verbatim has announced that "it is on schedule to deliver industry's first Double-Layer DVD+R (DVD+R DL) discs". The first 8.5 GB DVD+R9 media should ship this spring and will be 2.4x speed discs according to Verbatim.

The first recording layer of the Verbatim DVD+R DL disc is semi-transparent, providing enough reflectivity for writing/reading data on the first layer, yet transmitting enough laser power to read/write on the second layer by refocusing the laser.

Philips Launches 16x Dual Layer DVD
Writer 06/22/2004 10:46 AM

Details are slim -- I couldn't even find a picture, although I'm sure there's not much to see-- but Philips is pushing a new 16x DVD writer into the market that supports the Dual Layer standard. Although the news is clocking the burner at around six minutes per disc, I suspect that rate is only for single-layer DVDs. The 8.5-gigabyte dual layer burners from other manufacturers have been benchmarking much more slowly, in the 20 to 30 minute range for a single disc. Cost estimates are around $200-220 for consumers, and Dell is slated to recieve the first batch. Still, fast, like a cheetah, or a monkey on a cheetah. (Thanks, Jos!)
