Description:
Leveraging many of the same technologies that set the standard for high-speed DVD+R Double Layer (DL) disc performance, reliability and compatibility, Verbatim has announced the world's first LightScribe® 8X DVD+R Double Layer (DL) discs. At 8X speed, the industry's fastest DVD DL burning speed, an entire 8.5GB single-sided disc can be filled to capacity in 15 minutes or less.

LightScribe certified, Verbatim's new double layer media is fully compatible with LightScribe-enabled drives, duplicators and the latest software licensed by Hewlett-Packard. When combined, the same drive that burns content to the data side of the disc can be used to burn silkscreen-quality monochrome labels directly on the label side of the discs. The discs are produced with LightScribe Media Version 1.2 coating technology on the label side to provide enhanced contrast for photos, graphics, images and text.

By offering compliance that exceeds the DVD+R DL standard, users also have the assurance that Verbatim's new LightScribe media is compatible with the new multi-format drives and duplicators that support 8X DVD+R DL technology and most DVD playback devices.

The increased storage capacity required by digital content — especially HD video - and the volumes of Internet content that are being downloaded are driving the demand for higher capacity storage. With two recording layers on a single side, Verbatim's new media nearly doubles the storage capacity of a DVD from 4.7GB to 8.5GB. The higher capacity will enable businesses, content developers and consumers to store up to 3.5 hours of DVD-quality videos, about one hour of HD video or 8.5GB of data - without having to flip the disc. The capacity and 8X performance that these discs provide also make them ideal for backups and archiving.
