Verbatim and Fuji ready 16x DVD+R discs

Chicago (IL) - Approaching current physical limitations of recording speeds for DVDs, several manufacturers are preparing for the launch of 16x DVD media. Releases of DVD+Rs, capable of recording data at 21 MByte/s, are planned within a few weeks.

Verbatim is the latest company to announce a new speed for its media. The company said it used its "AZO dye" to achieve a higher level of thermal and optical properties to enable a wider power margin and increased sensitivity to laser light for high-speed recording.
