Digitimes reports that Behavior Tech Computer (BTC), one of Taiwans largest optical storage drive manufacturers, expects to start shipping 4x half-height DVD+RW and DVD-Dual drives in July and 8x DVD-Dual drives in October. The company expects to ship about 100.000 DVD recorders every month in the third quarter.

About half of BTC's recordable DVD drive
shipments will be sold in relatively small volumes under various brands,
30% will be for OEM orders and the remainder will be own-brand products,
Su said.

BTC's DVD
drives adopt chip sets provided by MediaTek and pick-up heads (PUHs) made
by Hitachi. Currently, the company's contract manufacturing prices for
recordable DVD drives are at US0-180, Su
said.


BTC is now another company that is producing dual format DVD recorders,
something that seems to become a trend.
