The Verbatim Corporation has announced that they too will be offering mini Blu-ray recordable media.
The specs offered by Verbatim say the discs, with 7.5GB capacity, can provide almost one hour of continuous video when HD (1920×1080i) is used and almost 2 hours when recorded at 1440×1080i.
The mini Blu-ray discs will be available later this month in Japan and the company will begin shipping the discs elsewhere as BD-compatible camcorders become more readily available.
According to DailyTech, the new discs will "share similar performance characteristics of its standard (12 cm) BD media, including technologies developed by MKM to guard against deterioration. The proprietary hard-coat finish on Verbatim BD media features anti-static and anti-scratch properties for added protection against scratches, fingerprints and dust particles that can occur during normal camcorder and home use."
The media are currently in production in Japan.
