Memorex has announced the availability of mini DVDs in the DVD-R/RW format. These discs are primarily meant for use in DV camcorders and other small mobile storage devices.
| Available in -R and -RW formats, the Memorex discs let consumers record 30 minutes of video or 1.4 GB of data right to the disc inside the camcorder, saving valuable production time over transferring videos and still photos onto a computer and then burning a DVD. Memorex Mini DVDs read and record at up to 4X speed and rewrite at up to 2X speed. Consumers also can use Memorex Mini DVDs for PC recording and to replay discs in most standard DVD players. Smaller discs are not new to Memorex, which currently holds 50 percent of the Pocket CD market with its Pocket CD-R and CD-RW discs, and looks to duplicate this enormous success with its Mini DVD-R and Mini DVD-RW discs. Pricing and Availability Packages of five Memorex Mini DVD-R discs cost $ 29.99 and are now available in retail stores nationwide. Packages of three Mini rewritable DVD-RW discs cost $ 29.99 and will be in retail stores nationwide in the middle of April. |
