Via our friends from
CDRLabs.com I found a link to the German
Heise Online website on which
we can read that the Korean LG company has said that it will push DVD-RAM
specifications to 16x by the year 2005. Currently DVD-RAM read and write speeds
are very low, which makes it an unatractive recording method. Next year LG
already has plans to increase recording speeds to 5x, using the Partial-CAV
writing method. Here's the information from Heise Online, translated via Babel
Fish from German:
press conference of the Recordable DVD council on future burning speeds with Dvd RAM. Afterwards the speed of at present 3X (CLV) will increase in the next year to 5X (PCAV). In the year 2005 the jump on 16-fache is to then succeed photograph speed (CAV). The fuel time will not linear be reduced however, since the higher speeds are reached only in the external area the Dvd RAM. So is itself the time, in order to describe, from at present about 40 minutes (inclusive the automatic write examination) on 24 minutes for 5X and 10 minutes for 16X reduce a 4,7-GByte-Medium completely. With switched off Verify the times halve themselves. |
