ShrinkwrapIn order to meet consumer demands for high capacity, long life data storage, MAM-A Inc. has developed a Gold Archive Grade, recordable DVD media. The media is capable of storing any type of data or video content and is available in -R and +R formats for 4.7 GB of total storage space. This product uses 24 karat gold as the reflective layer, offering maximum resistance to chemical breakdown -- one of the major causes of disc failure. The MAM-A Gold Archive Grade DVD is offered as the long awaited companion to the MAM Archive Grade Gold CD-R which has earned a reputation for the best longevity of any storage media.Unlike other DVD-R manufacturers, MAM-A has developed a brand new organic dye formulation used in the production of every MAM-A DVD-Recordable disc. Once written to, a MAM-A DVD+R disc adapts the same playback characteristics as a DVD-ROM disc, rendering it compatible with the world-wide base of both DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives which support DVD Recordable media. DVD-Recordable discs are manufactured by bonding two 0.6 mm "halves" together to make one 1.2mm DVD-R; each half, capable of containing its own recording, reflective and protective layers. The adhesive structure of MAM-A DVD+R is unique to our discs and has proven to have a higher bonding strength than other discs. Physical tests to this bonding layer resulted in flawless results of the MAM-A DVD+Rs, which experience no signs of peeling or damage to the bonding layer.
