 DVD+RW Alliance - New dual-layer DVD+R technology developed by Philips in cooperation with MKM increases DVD recordable capacity to 8.5 Gbytes
Philips will demonstrate its new dual-layer DVD recordable technology at the DVD+RW Alliance booth at the CEATEC* JAPAN 2003 exhibition in Makuhari (Chiba, Japan) from October 7 to 11.

Initial investigations were started by Philips Research around 2 years ago at a time when there was general scepticism throughout the optical storage industry that compatible dual-layer DVD recordable would ever be possible.

As a result, the DVD+RW DL media would not be compatible with current DVD players, and a hardware upgrade (not firmware) would be an essential before using it.
The upcoming DVD+RW DL media will be likely addressed for use in camcorders (8cm), which will natively support the format in hardware.
