Philips demonstrated 8x DVD+R DL burning at CES

Watch.impress.co.jp has added another report from the CES show in Las Vegas that covers some interesting optical storage prototypes and products from the booths of the DVD+RW Alliance, the RWPPI, TDK and Thomson:

⋅         In the DVD+RW Alliance's booth Philips demoed 8x DVD+R DL recording on a drive with the model name 'DVD8731". As you can see from the Nero CD-DVD speed graph here the complete DL disc was written in just over 15 minutes.

 

⋅         In RWPPI's booth Samsung displayed a prototype drive capable of writing DVD+R DL at 8x and DVD-R DL at 4x and Pioneer also showed its coming DVR-A09XL. Several companies showed prototypes of 16x DVD-R media and 4x DVD-R DL media too.

 

⋅         TDK focused on Blu-ray and showed a roadmap with up to 6x burn speed (216 Mbps) and quad layer recording. TDK also displayed bare Blu-ray Discs with its hard coating technology, now called Durabis.

 

⋅         Thomson showed a HD-DVD player and demonstrated its film grain technology.

"TDK focused on Blu-ray and showed a roadmap with up to 6x burn speed (216 Mbps) and quad layer recording. TDK also displayed bare Blu-ray Discs with its hard coating technology, now called Durabis." So this means it will take around 15 mins to do a single layer blu-ray of 25 gig. Would be good if 6x was the initial recording speed for the first generation drives.

Nice, But geeze, and 2.4x DL discs are still a complete rip-off. Until we see the discs for under US$2, they are pointless. Danny.
