When a Little Movie Will Do

Whether it’s a memorable vacation, an elegant wedding or just the kids playing soccer; it is sometimes difficult to fill a full 2-hour DVD with exciting, memorable video memories. In addition, a growing number of DVD camcorders are being introduced. All of the discs can go directly from the DVD camcorder or DVD burner and immediately be played in virtually any DVD player.

For the best in family short subjects, Verbatim has introduced a family of miniDVD media both DVD-R and DVD-RW as well as double layer DVD-R discs. Like the company’s popular Digital Movie DVD media, the discs look like movie reels. But unlike the larger discs, the 3-inch single layer Mini DVD discs hold 1.4GB of data (compared to 4.7GB) and the mini DL discs hold 2.66GB. The single layer capacity is equal to about 30 minutes of video while the dual layer discs hold about one hour of personal/family highlights.

The 8 cm DL discs can be used in Canon’s DC22 Mini DVD-R DL-compatible camcorder. The single layer discs can be recorded to by camcorders including those produced by Hitachi, Panasonic and Sony. Individuals with the new camcorders can take the discs directly out of the camera, pop them into their DVD player and quickly relive the moment. Or for individuals who want to save only the best moments of their videos they can edit and post produce the video on their PC, copy the content to the Mini DVD discs and share copies with families and friends.

Ideal for recording and sharing home movies, sporting events, training videos and business presentations; the Verbatim media have an extra protective coating called VideoGard. The VideoGard layer on the disc surface provides added protection for home videos and photos and is 40 times more resistant to scuffing and scratching than conventional DVD media.

The Verbatim Mini DVD-R DigitalMovie discs are available in 5-packs while the DVD-RW media is supplied in 3-packs and the Mini DVD-R DL discs are solid in 3-packs. For complete information on the mini-moment video discs visit www.verbatim.com.
