Ritek said last week that it has finished the mass production
process of 8cm write once DVD in both formats, which are DVD+R DL
and DVD-R DL.
Featuring two recording layers on a single side, these two new
discs both can provide nearly one hour of digital video recording
time or 2.6GB of storage capacity on a single side of mini DVD
disc.
"We are aware of the increasing sales of DVD Camcorders worldwide
but the current single layer or double sided 8cm DVD cannot meet
customers expectation perfectly because of their limited
recording time. So we foresee the potential huge demand if
customers can record their video nearly one hour without changing
or flipping the DVD discs," said Eric Chang, RITEK Global
Marketing Deputy General Manager.
The two new discs will be available in the market in January of
2007.
