Taiwanese Company to Mass Produce Rewritable HD Discs

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the places-to-put-your-stuff dept.

Lucas123 writes "Ritek Corp. plans to start mass producing BD-RE and HD DVD-RE next quarter. 'Initially, however, BD-RE and HD DVD-RE discs will be pricey. The average cost per disc will remain around $10 in retail outlets, despite production costs of around $5 per disc, said Eric Ai, a Ritek representative. Prices won't likely come down until other mass disc producers in Taiwan win accreditation to make the discs, and ramp up volumes.'"

    Big islands in the Pacific around Asia. No big difference. At least their geography was good enough that they got the general area correct.

    It is well known that Ritek makes subpar media. They are a major source for many store brands too. Be very careful when purchasing.
