Verbatim is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, based in Japan. Mitsubishi Kagaku Media’s wide-range of operations makes it one of the leading chemical companies in the world.

The Camcorder DVD Market

Consumers have become aware of the benefits that direct capturing to DVD brings to them. As a result the camcorder hardware market shows double-digit growth rates and DVD camcorders show twice those growth rates, thereby increasing their share!

Mizushima Research Centre

Mitsubishi Kagaku Media’s pioneering strength is visible in its products, for which the research and development is carried out in the Mizushima Research Centre. The company also has strong relationships with the major hardware manufacturers in the market. These two strengths benefit Verbatim by ensuring not only the latest technologies and products first to market, but also that optical discs bearing our brand are the standard that many hardware companies test their recorders on, making our discs superbly compatible.

The majority of camcorder manufacturers have a range of DVD camcorders on sale, from entry level to sophisticated high-end models. Some even record in HD quality.

Just like in the 12cm DVD market there is a variety of formats that co-exist. All camcorders support write- once DVD-R media offering 30min of DVD quality recording. Both DVD-RW and DVD+RW formats are available as rewritable media, DVD+RW having the advantage that it does not need finalization after recording before playback.

For even longer playback DVD+R Double Layer and DVD-R Dual Layer are available offering up to 55min of uninterrupted recording. DL discs are also the preferred recording media for the new

HD camcorders!
