DVD-R/-RW is the format that is supported by the DVD Forum, with over 200 member companies. Bringing 2x rewritable speed to this popular format will allow users to halve the recording time while still providing the inherent flexibility of rewritable format. Small enough to be used directly in 8cm DVD camcorders, you can record your footage straight to the discs and be reassured that your memories will stay safe from harm with the 'HardCoat ScratchGuard' surface layer provided. This special protective surface layer provides superb protection against accidental surface damage and in tests, the ‘HardCoat ScratchGuard’ layer proves to be nearly 50 times more protected from general wear and tear than discs without the coating. Verbatim's DVD-Rewriteable (as well as its CD-Rewriteable) use a Super Eutectic Recording Layer (SERL). SERL ensures that noise-free recording can be enjoyed time and time again. With conventional rewriteable media, the recording layer deteriorates with every rewrite, meaning a decrease in quality. With Verbatim rewriteable media however, the recording layer is returned to perfect condition on every erase cycle, leaving a flawless disk for the next recording. SERL also enables this media to enjoy excellent archival stability and high-speed recording. This means users can enjoy perfect, high-speed Data storage every time.
