Lite-On IT said it will ship next month its first DVR/DVD recorder combination product that will support double-layer recordable DVD+R DL media.

The unit, model HD-A740GX ($399 suggested retail), will include a 160GB hard disk drive, capable of storing more than 198 hours of video content at one time. The DVD recorder portion of the device is multi-format compatible, enabling users to record to DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW and DVD+R DL discs. It will also play back, but not record to, CD-R media.

When recording to double-layer media, users will have up to 8.5GB of capacity, good for four hours of standard-quality video, on a single disc.
