The DVD+RW Alliance today revealed a concept of DVD+R DL media supporting up to 8x recording speeds at the World PC Expo conference in Japan.
According to the DVD+RW Alliance, the new standard will allow writing 8.5 GByte of data onto a DVD+R DL in less than 16 minutes, translating into a writing speed of almost nine MByte per second. At the current 2.4x recording speed, the same amount of data requires about 47 minutes to be stored on a DVD+R DL disc. The DVD+RW Alliance expects 8X DVD+R DL media and drives to come to market in the first quarter of next year.
