Double Layer DVD Recording

With the same technology that underpins Hollywood-style DVD-Videos, Double Layer (DL) discs are compatible with most consumer

set-top DVD players and computer DVD-ROM drives. On one DVD+R DL/ DVD-R DL disc, you’ll

be able to store up to four hours of MPEG-2 video, sixteen hours of VHS-

quality video or increase the video bit

rate for higher quality movies. And with 8.5GB of storage space on a single DL

disc, they’re ideal for archiving and backup applications, and could even be

used as replacement for tape in some instances.

The LaCie d2 DL DVD±RW Drive can be integrated into standard 19” computer and audio equipment racks, and is equally at home on any desktop. Now you have the tools to make high-impact, professional quality DVD videos, conveniently make system backups and preserve all of your memories for the future.
