Sony MD View – MD Data² –

MD View is an extension of the MiniDisc that can be used as a removable medium to store movie clips and still pictures in Sony’s MD Discam digital camcorders. As with audio MiniDisc, the MD Discam allows the user to perform editing tasks similar to a standard MD Recorder. A user can delete, add titles and music with the details of the artists' name and track displayed on the LCD without having to resort to separate editing equipment.

The MD View – MD Data² – has a capacity of 650MB rewritable memory, which translates to approximately 20 minutes of video, 4,500 still images in MPEG2 format and over four hours of recorded audio.

Sony's ways sure are incompreshesible. What did they do to decrease size from 1GB discs? Or did they sort of invent the wheel again and scaled the old discs up?

Still, it's nice to see Sony's coming up with multiple uses for the format. Not sure why they would use a presumably incompatible discs...
