Overview

The Sony 3DMW60DSM is a three-pack of 8cm double-sided DVD-RW discs designed specifically for DVD-based camcorders. Each disc provides approximately 1.4GB of storage per side — 2.8GB total — with up to 60 minutes of recording time on each side at standard quality. The DVD-RW format means these discs are fully rewritable, allowing you to erase and re-record footage as many times as needed, making them a practical choice for users who review and overwrite footage regularly rather than archiving every recording.

The compact 8cm form factor slides directly into the disc tray of compatible mini-DVD camcorders without any adapter. Recording speed is rated at up to 2x, which is standard for this disc size and format. While the 8cm DVD format has been largely replaced by SD cards and internal flash memory in modern camcorders, these discs remain essential for users who still operate older DVD-based models and need a dependable source of compatible media. The three-pack provides enough discs for extended shooting sessions or a small rotating library of rewritable media.
