Tri-layer? Nice...Get rid of the Blu-Ray layer and make it a tri-layer HD-DVD disc and you got a winner. -KFThe discs contain three layers. The upper layer is a Blu-ray Disc layer with a capacity of 25GB. Below are two DVD layers with a combined capacity of 8.5GB, JVC says.
The company has not decided yet when the technology will be commercialized but JVC may produce the discs, says company spokesperson Fusako Adachi.
The announcement comes a few weeks after Memory-Tech said it had developed discs that can store data in both DVD and a rival high-density format called HD-DVD (High Definition/High Density-DVD). The discs contain two layers, an upper DVD layer with a capacity of 4.7GB and a lower HD-DVD layer with a 15GB capacity. They will go into mass production late next year, Memory-Tech says.
