Many thanks must goto BeAll Developers Inc. for informig us about a new product they have developed which expands the size of a normal DVD-R disc from 4.7 to 4.86GB which might prove that little bit more useful for the home video maker who requires the extra room to achive 2 hrs of DV recording onto DVD-R. Manufactured under the name DVD-R EX this media will be available soon in increased speeds of 8x and 16x.
"Sole manufacturer of DVD-R/+R media, in Korea, BeAll Developers Inc. has successfully produced, tested and released the world’s only 4X 4.85GB DVD-R EX TM media. As early as 20th of September, starting from Japanese market, the company is expected to world debut the media. The new media offers an additional 0.15 GB of storage capacity to the standard 4.7GB discs widely available and in use. Hence, the market, limited by the media size, only competing by media recording speed, will be impacted.
Over one year in development and with tough technical barriers, BeAll has been able to successfully keep both stability and compatibility rock solid. What has emerged is a technical marvel.
Technical Info :
If the maximum recording capacity(4.7GB) is used , the recording process creates a 3mm gap at the outer edge of the disc, creating a buffer zone.
The buffer zone then acts as a mechanical barrier against damage, minimizing data loss at the outer edge, giving BeAll discs superiority and an advantage over lower quality discs.
BeAll Developers, Inc will also announce 16X versions of their well-respected, award-winning media.
