 "TDK Announces 16.5 GB Mini Blu-ray Discs")
DVD Camcorders are becoming very popular, but the paltry 1.4 GB capacity of the small 8cm discs used in the devices is proving to be a big problem, particularly with the advent of HD camcorders.
TDK looks to have a solution for this already: 8cm Blu-ray discs! These mini Blu-ray discs store upto 16.5 GB on just a single layer, which is almost space as much as a quad-layer current-gen DVD (around 18) and they’ve already got plans of making a dual-layer one with around 33 GB of storage! They will be available in recordable (BD-R) and rewriteable (BD-RE) formats and will support full HD (1080p) video as required by the Blu-ray standard.
Right now these discs are just at CEATEC, so don’t get your hopes too high already. Your investment in the DVD camcorder you just bought is safe.
