Memorex Specialty DVDs for Home Movie Recording and Video
Archiving Now Available
'Director's Cut' DVDs encased in movie reel-style tins offer the latest
safeguards for long-term protection of DVDs
CERRITOS, Calif. - May 12, 2005 - Memorex puts consumers right in the
director's chair with its new Director's Cut recordable DVD media. Ideal for
movie buffs and novice home movie producers, the Director's Cut DVD family, now
available in standard and mini DVD formats, comes packaged in a movie reel-style
metal tin and includes several safeguards that help eliminate threats to DVD
preservation.
At eight centimeters in diameter, Director's Cut
Mini DVD-R discs are ideal for home video recording with DVD camcorders like the
Sony Handycam®, as well as mobile storage of multimedia presentations, videos
and MP3 files. The full-sized DVD+R discs are ideal for transferring VHS tapes
to DVD and saving home movies, in addition to mobile storage of precious photos,
favorite music and important data. Both products feature a Hollywood-themed disc
print that resembles a movie director's marker board.
A unique movie reel-style, metal storage tin comes
with every package of Director's Cut media from Memorex. Reminiscent of movie
vault storage, these tins help maintain the integrity of important recordings by
preventing exposure to light, one of the top threats to proper DVD preservation.
Director's Cut DVDs also feature Memorex's DuraLayer™ technology, a special
scratch-resistant hard coating that also eliminates other threats to DVD
preservation like dust, debris and rough handling.
'As more direct-to-DVD recording devices come onto
the market, consumers will look for DVD media that provide the added benefit of
longer-lasting preservation for their home movies and personal video
collections," said Brad Yeager, director of product marketing, optical media and
accessories. 'As the market leader in blank media, Memorex has created a line of
specialty recording products that meets this growing trend."
