 Global Recordable CD & DVD Media
Verbatim and Mitsubishi Kagaku Media leads the global DVD-R market with a 17% market share for all of 2005. In the DVD+R segment, which accounted for 34.2% of worldwide DVD recordable sales in 2005, Verbatim/MKM leads with 17.77 percent of the market. Verbatim / MKM also leads the global CDR market with 15.1 percent of CD-R sales and 19.8 percent of CD-RW.
High-speed burners and recorders
Driving Verbatim and Mitsubishi Kagaku Media's growing market share is the company's ability to combine high reliability, stability and longevity with high performance and broad compatibility. With 16x DVD writers accounting for the majority of the CD/DVD burners being sold today, consistent media quality has become even more important for professionals, businesses and consumers because higher-speed burners and recorders are less tolerant of media imperfections.
Metal AZO Recording layer technology
Verbatim and Mitsubishi Kagaku Media DVDR discs are produced with patented Metal AZO recording layer technology which provides increased sensitivity to laser light - the key requirement for high-speed recording. It also controls the heat interference between consecutive recorded marks. This substantially reduces the jitter and enables superior recording characteristics across the entire range of available recording speeds, from 1x through 16x. In addition to the superior recording layer, the discs are manufactured using Verbatim's precision molding technology which ensures a consistently flat disc surface and minimizes errors during high-speed recording.
Blu-ray and High Definition DVD media technology
To maintain its leadership position, Verbatim and Mitsubishi Kagaku Media continues to develop advanced and innovative storage solutions for the future, including Blu-ray and High Definition DVD (HD DVD) media technology. Verbatim brand media is marketed in North America, Europe, Latin America and other areas of the world. In Japan, media is sold under the Mitsubishi brand.
