Memory-Tech and Toshiba develop HD-DVD/DVD triple layer disc

It’s a real pancake. Combine two layers of DVD with one layer of HD-DVD. Or one layer of DVD, and two layers of HD-DVD. Choose the latter to achieve near 35 gigabytes of storage (30GB of HD-DVD and 4,7GB of DVD) while having regular DVD compatibility.

According to Toshiba, The TWIN format was created so that consumers could have both the standard definition and high definition versions of a movie on a single disc. Ideally, then, videos can be played on DVD and HD DVD players.

With the three-layer discs, companies can take better advantage of the DVD TWIN technology, either offering extra HD DVD or regular DVD content. Previously, the TWIN discs allowed solely one layer of each format.
