CDRINFO continues to deliver coverage from the CeBIT 2003 expo. Panasonic introduces drives and home cinema products. Also Sanyo shows their new DVD+R products:
The CRD-BPDV2 supports 4x DVD+R and 2.4x DVD+RW writing, and 12x DVD reading. For the CD, the CRD-BPDV2 offers 24x/10x/40x CD-R/RW features and the well-known Burn-Proof, FlexSS-BP and Safe-BP. Speculation says that a simple firmware upgrade will enable recording on both formats.
The most interesting feature of the new drive is the so-called "High Density Recording" Technology or HD-BURN. The HD-BURN technology doubles the recording capacity (up to 1.4GB) on conventional CD-R media (700MB)!
High Density Recording could be fun, but keep in mind that this is totally non-standard technology and not supported by other than Sanyo devices.
Prodisc's latest CD-R should run at 52x and RW at 24x.Also Prodisc comes with a DVD Recordable product line
