With the same technology that underpins Hollywood-style DVD-Videos,
Double Layer (DL) discs are compatible with most consumer
set-top DVD players and computer DVD-ROM drives.
On one DVD+R9 DL disc, you'll be able to
store up to four hours of MPEG-2 video,
sixteen hours of VHS-quality video or
increase the video bit rate for higher
quality movies. And with 8.5GB of
storage space on a single DL disc,
they're ideal for archiving and backup
applications, and could even be used as
replacement for tape in some instances.
The LaCie d2 DL DVD±RW Drive can be integrated into standard 19" computer and audio equipment racks, and is equally at
home on any desktop. Now you have the tools to make high-impact, professional quality DVD videos, conveniently make
system backups and preserve all of your memories for the future.
