CD creation solution! This drive gives you maximum

Double Layer DVD Recording
With the same technology that underpins Holly-
wood-style DVD-Videos, Double Layer (DL) discs are
compatible with most consumer set-top DVD players
and computer DVD-ROM drives.
On one DVD+R9 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.
Now you have the tools to make high-impact, pro-
fessional quality DVD videos, conveniently make sys-
tem backups and preserve all of your memories for the
future.
