Versatile Multilayer Disc
open-in-new
<p>Versatile Multilayer Disc (VMD or HD VMD) was a high-capacity red-laser <a href="/facts/Optical_disc/vjVDB1GH">optical disc</a> technology designed by New Medium Enterprises, Inc. VMD was intended to compete with the blue-laser <a href="/facts/Blu-ray_Disc/zyPalhfG">Blu-ray Disc</a> and <a href="/facts/HD_DVD/ULvpqYxb">HD DVD</a> formats and had an initial capacity of up to 30 GB per side. At a physical level, VMD is identical to DVD, but with the possibility of using more layers. </p>
