LightScribe DVD+R discs

Use LightScribe DVD+R discs for sharing and storing data, home videos, and photos. These discs are read-compatible with most DVD-ROM drives and DVD video players. With a LightScribe-enabled drive and LightScribe software, you can write data to the disc and add a designer label to the outside of the disc.

Blu-ray Disc (BD)

BD is a high-density optical disc format for the storage of digital information, including high-definition video. A single-layer BD can store 25 GB, over five times the size of the 4.7-GB single-layer DVD. A dual-layer BD can store 50 GB, almost 6 times the size of the 8.5-GB dual-layer DVD.

Typical uses include the following:

●Storage of large amounts of data

●High-definition video playback and storage

●Video games

NOTE: Because Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility, and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed.
