The recorders are available with either a 1TB (DMR-BW930), 500GB (DMR-BW830), or 320GB (DMR-BW730) hard drive and come equipped with digital and analog tuners and a second-gen MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoder which can store approximately 24 hours worth of high-def video onto a single 50GB BD-R disc.

The legal battle between Philips and Princo has been going on for as long as I can remember. While both companies have had their share of victories, the latest round has gone in favor of Philips. According to DigiTimes, a local court in Taiwan has ordered Princo to pay Philips $21.1 million for CD-R licensing.
A local court in Taiwan, on August 15, announced its judgment that Princo, a Taiwan-based maker of blank optical discs, must pay Royal Philips Electronics a total of 2.354 billion yen (US$21.1 million) for CD-R licensing. The fees are due for the period from the fourth quarter of 1997 to the fourth quarter of 1999 plus interest for delayed payment, according to Princo's filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) on August 18. Princo has decided to appeal, the company stressed.Add a comment
