NEC has launched a faster DVD writer which, it claims, is the first to author both DVD+R and DVD-R rewritable formats at 4x speed. This doubles the previous speed at which DVD+R discs could be written, allowing an hour of DVD video to be burned in about 15 minutes, NEC said.
The MultiSpin ND-1100A drive, announced on Tuesday, claims to be the first to take advantage of the 4x DVD+R specification, released in early August by the DVD+RW Alliance. DVD writers from several manufacturers are already capable of authoring DVD-R discs at 4x.
