ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2003--Sonopress LLC, a global leader in media services and turnkey production operations, today announced that it has installed manufacturing and media replication equipment for the new DVD 14 and 18 format media.

From audio cassettes to the newest DVD formats, we offer the widest range of media replication services to meet the growing needs of our customers," he added.

The new, larger DVD 14 and 18 formats provide more storage capacity, allowing publishers to add multiple aspect ratios and other supplementary content on each disc. At 14GB and 18GB, respectively, DVD 14 and 18 offer between 40 and 80-percent more capacity than DVD 9, which is currently the most common format used in DVD video situations.
