Lite-On IT will launch two new DVD burners today through its Taiwan general sales agent, Gish International, for sale on the domestic market. The products are an 8x DVD Dual DL (single-sided double-layer disc) burner and a 12x DVD Dual burner.
According to Gish chairman Garry Chen, a few local makers already claim to offer 8x DVD+RW DL burner models, but Lite-ON IT’s 8x DVD Dual DL is also compatible with the –RW format, and will sell at prices of US$229-239 per burner. Lite-On IT also recently began selling the 12x DVD Dual burners in Japan, Chen indicated.
In addition to the two DVD burner models, Lite-ON IT also launched a new DVD recorder model equipped with a USB2.0 slot for direct connection with digital cameras and DVs (digital video camcorders), Chen said.
