Verbatim ships 'cost effective' 10 pack with a DL disc included

"Verbatim has set the performance standard for the entire Double-Layer production industry by producing DVD+R DL-certified media that exceeds the DL specifications," said Tim Clatterbuck, Verbatim Optical Storage Manager. "Verbatim's ability to deliver this new technology while totally complying with the DL standard is one of the key reasons premium drive manufacturers are shipping Verbatim DVD+R DL media with their DL burners.

"A large percentage of our production capacity is currently being shipped to drive manufacturers so they can test and calibrate their drives at the factory level," Clatterbuck explained. "To meet the growing demand from manufacturers and enable us to place the multi-pack DL media with large retailers, we're adding another production line that will double our DVD+R DL media production capacity by the August/September timeframe."
