DVD-R, the next generation, specs in June....................... digitaltheater.com Second Generation 4.6GB DVD-R Specs To Be Decided In June <Picture> [ Back to the News \| Back HOME ] Nikkei English News via Individual Inc. : TOKYO (Nikkei)--The DVD Forum is expected to finalize specifications of the second-generation digital videodisc rewritable (DVD-R) medium in around June, organization officials said. The biggest change between the first and the second generations is an increase in the single-side data capacity from 3.95 gigabytes to 4.6 gigabytes. DVD-R media allow data to be recorded only once. They are mainly used to test and verify DVD-ROM titles before the titles are sent to commercial production. However, their 3.95-gigabyte capacity has been causing a nuisance among software companies since the capacity falls short of the 4.6 gigabyte data space given to DVD-ROM and DVD video discs.
