Imation Corp., a worldwide leader in removable data storage media, today introduced its new double layer DVD+R media -- the industry's next advancement in DVD technology to meet the increasing storage requirements of consumers for high-capacity applications, such as digital video. The new disc nearly doubles the storage capacity of a DVD recordable disc from 4.7GB to 8.5GB on a single side, without having to turn the disc over during recording.
Imation DVD+R DL media maintains playback compatibility with existing DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives, but requires a dual-layer burner to record. The new media achieves a higher capacity by using a dual-layer DVD+R system with two thin embedded organic dye films for data storage, which are separated by a semi-reflective layer and a spacer layer.
Imation DVD+R DL media will be available through Authorized Imation Distributors, Resellers and retailers in Q4 2004.
