Verbatim Unveils Mini DVD DigitalMovie Discs at PMA

At the PMA (Photographic Marketing Association) show which is running this week in Orlando, FL, Verbatim introduced a new family of single and double layer MiniDVD DigitalMovie media that adds the unique classic movie reel look to the discs with widely compatible DVDR media.

The company already offers a complete line of standard size DigitalMovie DVDR media that provides storage capacity of 2-hours of theater quality video or 4,700 photos. The new three-inch discs provide up to 1.4GB (single layer) and 2.6GB (double layer). The mini discs store 30 minutes (single layer) and 60 minutes (double layer) of high quality video that can be played on virtually every standard DVD player in use today.

The realistic look of a classic Hollywood movie real makes users feel like movie directors and theatergoers. Company officials note that the smaller discs are easy to carry and ship and make an excellent way to give friends and family truly special videos of family special events or holidays. The Mini DVD DigitalMovie discs make you smile even before you play the content.

About half the size of standard DVDs, the Mini DVD discs are ideal for storing digital photos, MP3 files, movies and combination photo/video presentations. They are also ideal for transferring home video tapes to optical media that won't degrade over time.

The first time you see one of the discs you immediately think of the old reels of celluloid film movie houses used to use. But the discs are more than a novelty, they are manufactured using the latest technologies to ensure high performance, reliability and durability. To provide outstanding data protection, the media includes Verbatim's VideoGard coating technology. The coating provides 40 times the protection from scuffing and scratching of older standard DVD media. The coating protects the surface from scratches which can cause the DVD player's laser to skip or freeze when the content is being played.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, Verbatim's single-layer Mini DVD DigitalMovie DVD-R and –RW is available through leading retailers and Internet resellers. Street price for a 5-pack of Mini DVD DigitalMovie DVD-R discs will be about $12.99. Price for a three-pack of the DVD-RW media will also be about $12.99. Three-packs of the Mini DVD+R DL media will be about $24.99 and the media will be available next month.
