Memorex Introduces New Double Layer DVD+R Discs
June 28, 2004
Cerritos, CA - Memorex will ship its new Double Layer DVD+R discs next month, the company has announced, allowing for 80 percent more recording capacity than current single layer discs.
Double layer discs offer DVD-quality picture resolution with four hours of recording time – about two hours more than a single layer DVD – accommodating most standard length movies all on one disc. Consumers now can record four hours of DVD-quality video in standard play mode (SP) or 16 hours of VHS-quality video in extended play mode (EP).
Double layer DVD+R discs, which record at 2.4x speed, require a double layer burner for recording, but are playback-compatible with most standard computer and home DVD players on the market because they conform to the DVD9 commercial standard. Each Memorex Double Layer disc is packaged in a “movie box” case.
Memorex Double Layer DVD+R discs will be available in July for a suggested retail price of $12.99 each.
