According to DigiTimes Lite-On IT, Taiwan's largest producer of optical disc drives, expects to ship one million DVD drives in the first three months of next year. This statement was made by Michael Gong, Lite-On's general manager for the optical disc business.

Lite-On IT started production of 8x DVD drives in November, with shipment volumes accounting for over 50% of all its DVD drives. The company believes that its DVD drive shipments will exceed one million this year, Gong indicated.

Currently, DVD+RW and DVD Dual are the two mainstream DVD drive specifications, Gong noted. To cope with continued price drops of DVD+RW and DVD Dual drives, Lite-On IT keeps upgrading the speed of drives. Gong said that 12x models will be offered in the first quarter of 2004, with 16x ones in the second half.
