Verbatim brings 8cm Blu-ray discs to Europe

Verbatim, the most prominent name in the storage media market, will launch here, next month, what they did in Japan in August (at the time of the Hitachi BD-compatible camcorder release).

It will be available as both recordable and rewritable Mini Blu-ray media (BD-R/BD-RE) with a storage capacity of 7.5 GB, which equals to approximately one hour of video when high definition (1920×1080) is used, and two hours at 1440×1080.

This Mini BD will deliver the same high read/write performance than the standard (12 cm) discs, and using advanced technologies (like the hard coat protective layer) developed by Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, will also reach the same longevity against deterioration in picture and sound quality. That's a promise they aim to keep no matter how much recording and playback you perform.

Verbatims new Mini BD will be produced at MKMs optical disc manufacturing facility in Mizushima, Japan.
