"The Super Multi Blue drive can store 10 DVD movies and reproduce high-definition video clips from footage recorded by HD camcorders or digital cameras," LG Electronics said. "The Super Multi Blue drive also allows high-definition images and high quality audio since it can store uncompressed audio."
