More work on DVD-R standard....... japanbiztech.com DVD Forum to Firm Up 4.7GB DVD-R Standard October 15, 1997 (TOKYO) -- Working Group 6 of the DVD Forum decided to firm up a DVD-R standard for disks with a storage capacity of 4.7GB per side during a meeting held in late September 1997. The forum includes companies in the disk business that participate in the process of deliberations or propose a standard. The group will proceed with full-scale deliberations on the standard after a DVD Forum open meeting slated for late October. The meetings for standardization will be held once a month and last from six months to a year to deliberate and evaluate proposals from the companies concerned. The group will finalize the DVD-R format with a storage capacity of 4.7GB per side by next spring at the earliest. Several companies proposed their formats to Working Group 6 in addition to Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. and Pioneer Electronic Corp., which already had disclosed their specifications as candidates for the standard. The write-once optical disk format proposed by Pioneer attained jitters of about 8 percent at a tilt angle of zero degrees and about 20 percent at tilt angles of -0.8 degrees and +0.8 degrees, thanks to a newly developed organic pigment and output control in writing. The company official said that it was close to the specifications required by the DVD-R format, with a storage capacity of 3.9GB per side: the jitters less than 9 percent at a zero tilt angle and jitters of less than 15 percent at tilt angles of -0.8 degrees and +0.8 degrees.
