Maxell DVD-R discs offer six times the storage capacity of CD-Rs, making them ideal choices for recording digital movies and photos, backing up hard drives, creating multimedia presentations, and developing a host of other projects. Each write-once disc holds 4.7 GB of information--enough for two hours of video in SP mode or six hours in EP mode. The DVD-Rs can also store up to a half dozen hours of high-quality music. Once recorded, the discs will last anywhere from 40 to 250 years, making them a great choice for archiving. The DVD-Rs owe their durability and quality performance to Maxell's choice of metal azo dye recording material, which ensures error-free recording and playback. This particular spindle comes with 50 DVD-R discs, each of which is write-compatible with most 8x DVD-R (not DVD+R) drives and recorders. After recording, DVD-R discs are read-compatible with almost all DVD-R playback devices.
