CMC Magnetics and Ritek will raise their quotations for DVD+R/-R discs by 3-5% each month this quarter, with the total price increase amounting to about 10% for the quarter, according to the two companies.
The price increases will vary based on the speed of the disc and the order volume, the two companies pointed out. In the case of 16x DVD+R/-R discs, the price level will rise from US$0.4 at the end of last month to US$0.44 at the end of this quarter.
As demand is expected to pick up this quarter, supply of DVD+R/-R discs may run short of demand up to 20% this quarter, CMC chairman Robert Wong and Ritek CEO Gordon Yeh indicated.
Other Taiwan-based makers, including Prodisc Technology, GigaStorage and Lead Data, are expected to follow suit and increase their DVD+R/-R disc prices.

The 7th Data Storage Expo & Conference, currently being held in Tokyo, Japan, where TDK demonstrated its four layer Blu-Ray Recordable disk (BD-R), capable of holding up to 100GB of content.
The disk features the DURABIS 2 hard-coating technology from TDK, in order to physically protect a Blu-Ray disc’s surface from scratches, dust and other factors that could cause damage.
The Blu-ray Disc Assosiacion has not yet started the standardization procedures for this kind of media, and according to TDK, the four-layer BD-R disc is currently a research level prototype. TDK held a BD-R recording test, using a Pioneer BD-R/RE prototype recorder. The TDK disc was recorded at 2x, which translates to 72Mbps transfer rate.
Single layer (25GB) and dual layer (50GB) BD-R and BD media were also available at the TDK booth, featuring the DURABIS 2 coating technology.
