The company is pleased to announce the immediate availability of its new DVD DigitalMovie discs, continuing its aim of reaching not only those whose lives are immersed in technology but the style conscious and more casual consumer. Like Verbatims popular Digital Vinyl CD-R discs that look like 45-rpm records, the new movie reel DVD discs, with the unique look of a movie reel, bring smiles to the faces of everyone who sees them.
The DVD DigitalMovie recordable discs are available in both DVD-R the format supported by the DVD Forum, of which Verbatim is a member and the DVD+R format supported by the +RW Alliance, of which Verbatim is a key member as well. Verbatim's unique DigitalMovie DVD+/-R discs put the fun in recording, viewing and sharing home movies. In addition to giving personal videos the realistic look of a classic Hollywood movie reel, the discs are ideal for backing up DVD video titles and transferring video tapes to optical media that wont degrade over time.

With a capacity of 4.7GB, users can store 2 hours of video on a single disc, and at 4x speed an entire 4.7GB DVD-R or +R disc can be recorded in about 15 minutes.

With UPM, the deflection or tilt of the substrate is minimized so the media spins smoothly at high speeds, regardless of the type of drive. Stable rotation during the reading and writing processes virtually eliminates the possibility of errors.
