Minus 4x ... Plus 8x ..

The Pioneer DVR-A05 appears to have been sighted in Japan for 29,800 Yen ($250.00), but bad news is the 4x DVD-R disks are selling for $6.5 per disk

Und während die 4-fach DVD-R noch überall massig Schwierigkeiten machen,
hat Philips schon das Design für 8-fach DVD+R fertig

New Philips Chipset Supports Up To 8x DVD Recording Speeds

Monday, 4 November, 2002

"Royal Philips Electronics today announced a highly integrated chipset, optical pickup unit (OPU), firmware and reference design for the industry's highest-speed DVD+R/RW (DVD+Recordable/ ReWriteable) recorders. This means that optical drive manufacturers targeting the PC industry can bring consumer products to market quickly. The Philips DVD design also incorporates new technology to minimize recording errors caused by common disk defects such as fingerprints. The software and chipset, based on Philips NexperiaTM streaming media technology, will allow consumers to create 4.7 GByte DVDs of home videos, photo albums and PC data in less than 15 minutes or half the time of existing drives.

Designed primarily for PC use, the Nexperia DVD+R/RW system solution is capable of supporting record speeds up to 8x. This leap forward in recording speed is achieved by a new approach to optical recorder design: Philips moved the write strategy generator (WSG) to the same board as the laser driver, eliminating the data bottleneck that limited recording speed. The new design also supports disk reading during the record process, which in turn supports a Philips innovation, eliminating most recording errors caused by common defects on the disc surface, and ensures higher levels of compatibility with legacy DVD players.

"Of the DVD recording formats available today, DVD+R/RW has the most long-term market potential due to its solid format and features," said Tim Bajarin, president, Creative Strategies. "Devices incorporating this technology will be poised for steadfast growth."

"Based on our proven expertise in optical storage technology, Philips is No. 1 in the DVD+RW chip market," said John Benson, global marketing manager, Philips Semiconductors. "The high-speed recording and defect compensation technology are features that consumers will demand in their DVD recorders."

The Philips chipset includes the PNX7850 main processor, the TZA1039 analog processor and the TZA1047 laser power controller. The entire system is designed to work with Philips OPU66.20."
