Infiniti 8cm DVD are digital versatile discs (DVD) designed to be recordable on any compatible DVD writing device but are especially developed for applications such as the new generation of camcorder. Many DVD reading devices in standalone DVD players cannot record onto DVD discs - you need a DVD Recording device, which can both read and record DVD. Almost all DVD writers can also write to CD-R.

In normal recording (standard DVD quality), Infiniti 8cm DVDs hold 30 minutes of video or 1.4 GB of data. Under SLP mode, comparable to VHS quality, it can hold up to 120 minutes of video. The 8cm DVD format was introduced for use in camcorders, but like its full-sized counterpart, they can be played back in most DVD players.

The DVD recording device "burns"� pits into the pre-formed guide track on a DVD.

The laser that reads the disc can read these pits, and write to it to store information. These pits are very, very small, and higher quality discs really do make a difference to writing, reading and longevity.

These discs are especially targeted at users with camcorders that use DVD as their recording medium but can really be used by anyone - you can record data, music, video, games and backup on them. They really are a great robust medium that is easy to handle, low cost, and resilient in transit.

Infiniti DVD are only ever the best grade and the same applies to our new 8cm range. We have built our reputation on sheer excellence in terms of what passes our quality control tests. Many lesser brands will put a mixture of grades into the packaging to reduce costs, but Infiniti, in common with manufacturers like Verbatim and Hewlett Packard Optical Media never do that.

Put simply, we supply only the best media and take great pride in our products.

All Infiniti DVD products will work on any writer less than 3 years old.

If you are interested in using our DVD's to store cherished memories recorded through your camcorder you would probably choose our Infiniti DVD-R. If you are merely interested in using our DVD as a re-recordable medium for your video camera you would probably want to choose our DVD-RW discs.

Your CD or DVD writer manufacturer should provide instructions for the correct use and handling of blank optical media. It is particularly critical that the discs have no marks, fingerprints or scratches on them prior to writing. After writing, minor scratches can be removed with various scratch removing devices like the PressIt CD Repair Kit, and fingerprints can easily be wiped off.

You can also use various devices to identify your discs after writing to them, such as CD Label and DVD Label Systems, or disc-friendly marker pens.

You may find that your device could benefit from a firmware upgrade. Firmware is the controller software inside the device that tells it how to function, and upgrades can often make the device faster, more efficient, and less prone to failure. A regularly maintained list of firmware upgrades is available at Disc-Info.com.
