Imation Corp. said Friday that it will release a new 8cm mini-rerecordable Blu-ray Disc, under the “TDK Life on Record” brand.

The discs will hold 7.5 GB of data, as well as ability to store 60 minutes of high-definition video.

The discs, when they arrive in September, will be available in version that cost $24.99 and $34.99.

Compatible with the just-announced Hitachi DZ-BD70A and DZ-BD7HA Blu-ray camcorders, the discs will compete with a similar product, also announced Friday, from rival Verbatim.

Imation bought most of the TDK brand in April for $300 million, with the deal expected to close this fall.
