Double layer DVDs hit the market
This is the word, according to AfterDawn.com about that long-awaited increase in optical storage space.
Source: Asahi ------------------------------------------------------------ MITSUBISHI RELEASES DVD+R DUAL-LAYERS ------------------------------------------------------------ $13.30 sounds a bit rough as the suggested retail price, but yes indeed the Mitsubishi made and Verbatim branded dual-layer discs hit the streets in Japan. Mitsubishi has been recognized as a premium optical media supplier for years, and is best known for its patented azo-dye.The first dual-layer DVD+R recording media are set to go on sale in Japan at the end of this month and overseas in June, disc maker Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Co. Ltd. said last Fridaycrease in storage. And Lite-on are already selling compatible burners, I do hear tell. Not cheap, at present, but prices are bound to fall as production increases

Woot! it only takes about 40 minutes to burn a dual layer dvd.
I think i will wait until both media and drives are a least 12x and at a reasonable cost. Not forgeting the chance of new media compatible drives (HDDVD, Blueray etc) coming out. |
