Maxell Corporation of America has nearly
doubled the capacity of DVD media with its introduction of DVD+R Double Layer
media, capable of storing up to 8.5GB of data or four hours of video.
In addition to four hours of DVD quality video, the new media has a capacity of
16 hours of VHS-quality video and one hour of high-definition-quality video on
one side of the disc. Unlike conventional DVD, double layer technology
utilizes a laser with a variable focal length to encode and read the data on the
disc. One focal length writes and reads to the top layers, while the other deals
with the second layer, nearly doubling capacity.
