Self-Erasing DVDs, dubbed DVD-D have already hit European stores.
DVD-D discs, sold for around one third of the usual DVD-R discs, can be played on any DVD player, but they will self-erase 8 hours after their first spin. Another version with a 48 hours life span is also available for software.
Blank DVD-D discs are also available. They are burned at 8X speed and their life span can be set to anything from 8 to 48 hours. Blank DVD-D disks also have the option to be played once.
DVD-D are currently available in Italy, France, Germany and Scandinavia.
