DigitalMovie Discs from Verbatim brings Cinema into the home.

With the recordable DVD sector experiencing faster growth than even recordable CD did when it hit the market, product developments continues apace with Verbatim. 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.

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 DVD+also a key member. Stepping away from the sometimes sterile technological world, the new 4.7GB disks feature an image of an old-style Hollywood movie reel. This not only leaps out at consumers from the shelf but clearly indicates the purpose of the product. With the growth in sales of larger LCD and Plasma screens for home viewing, and the increasing sales of surround sound systems, the quality of video and audio offered by DVD is ever-more necessary. And with the home Video editing on the increase, these discs are sure to be a success with the home camcorder enthusiast too!

Of course, being a Verbatim product, the ultimate in recording DVD recording technology and quality is assured via the company's Advanced AZO technology meaning recording at 4x speed can be achieved. This produces a recording layer with an improved power margin and greater sensitivity ensuring both speed and stability during the recording process. Archival lifetime of your valuable movies thereby becomes longer than ever.

The packaging also makes it absolutely clear which format is which thereby helping to ease consumer confusion in what is undoubtedly a confusing marketplace. DigitalMovie DVDs are available in crystal clear SuperJewelcase 3packs.

The cinema has taken another step closer to the home.
