Verbatim recently announced its new PhotoSave DVD. This recordable DVD-R media features integrated software that automatically launches when the disc is inserted into a drive. The software can then be used to find and burn photos located on a user's computer or digital camera.
Verbatim® Americas, LLC, a global leader and innovator in the digital storage industry, announced today Verbatim PhotoSave™ DVD, a recordable DVD that makes finding and saving photos absolutely effortless—even for consumers who have never burned a disc before.
Verbatim PhotoSave DVDs feature integrated software that launches automatically when the disc is inserted into a DVD-R drive. The process of searching for photos is also automated so users only need to click on the record button to save their memories from a PC. In the manual mode, PhotoSave DVDs also support “search and burn” from a digital camera connected to a PC. In addition to offering a long lifespan, each DVD disc provides a useable capacity of 4.5GB (1GB = 1 billion bytes) and can store approximately 2,000 photos.¹
PhotoSave DVDs combine the ultimate in photo storage simplicity with the superior reliability and compatibility that Verbatim media is known to deliver. Highly versatile, the unique discs can be used to find and save photos from a hard drive, camera, memory card or a USB drive and will recognize more than 80 different photo file formats.
The new DVDs are also cost-effective. In the manual mode, users can continue to add photo files to the discs until they are full. For added convenience, the software keeps track of the remaining capacity on the disc. Multi-disc spanning support for large file sets is also provided. With multiple PhotoSave DVDs, users can organize their photos by categories such as photos of children, vacations and family celebrations.
