The company claims the high definition discs will feature Memorex’s DuraLayer technology, a special scratch-resistant hard coating that protects media from dust, debris and rough handling.

Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray are recognized for their very large storage capacities and high data transfer rates. Memorex explained the suitability of both formats for consumers interested in recording high definition TV shows, sporting events and movies in crystal-clear, high-definition resolution. Both formats use state-of-the-art blue laser technology to support high-definition television recording with excellent picture quality.

Allen Gharapetian, vice president of marketing and product development for Memorex said, As high definition broadcasting and HD home theaters continue to proliferate, recordable HD-DVD and Blu-ray media provide the capacity and performance needed to record high resolution programs and movies without sacrificing quality.
