Re-writable Blu-ray discs offer flexibility to add or overwrite high-capacity video, music and data files – doubling the storage capacity (up to 50GB) of standard BD-RE discs

Charlotte, NC, March 1, 2011 – Verbatim, an industry pioneer  and the world’s number one brand leader in optical media, is now shipping its Blu-ray Re-Writable Double Layer (BD-RE DL) discs nationwide.

Compatible with standard Blu-ray players and recorders from leading manufactuers, these BD-RE DL discs are re-writable up to 1,000 times and can support up to 1080p resolution videos and multiple audio formats.

Designed specifically for high definition video and audio data, these double-layer discs can support storage capacities of up to 50GB – twice that of a single-layer disc.
