The dual layer drive writes on two sides of a cd. You have to purchase
these cds as you can not write on the cds that we are currently using.
My experience has been that so far the DL is not totally reliable when
writing DVD.
The Phillips that comes in the Dell computers are a nightmare.
Unless you are going to write with DL cds and do extensive dvd
authoring I would get a writer that is more reliable and wait till
they perfect these more.

Dual layer does not write on both sides of the disc. Dual layer is just
that, dual-layer on one side. There are two data layers and the laser is
basically refocused depending on which layer needs to be written or read.

Also, dual-layer discs are very expensive right now, around $10 per disc.
They're really not worth the cost at this point.

True, but like all previous media, the price will come down shortly.

Without a doubt because of your top posting. Top posting is only readible
if one reads the whole thread and thus it is only a waste of space to quote
the text from the previous posts.

I think the correct number is something like 8.5 GB.
I haven't gotten deeper into the technology, so I am unsure if that is a
technology maximum or just the maximum of the currently available drives.

You're right, I was guessing. From:
http://www.dvdrw.com/press/duallayer.htm
Philips will demonstrate its new dual-layer DVD recordable technology at
the DVD+RW Alliance booth at the CEATEC* JAPAN 2003 exhibition in
Makuhari (Chiba, Japan) from October 7 to 11. Developed by Philips
Research in cooperation with MKM (Mitsubishi Kagaku Media)/Verbatim, the
technology virtually doubles data storage capacity on DVD recordable
discs from 4.7 Gbyte to 8.5 Gbyte while remaining compatible with
existing DVD Video players and DVD-ROM drives.

Yes, top posting is so much clearer and more convenient.
Only die-hard people resistant to change have not yet recognized it. Most
seem to be academicly related.

FYI
I installed a Lite-On LDW-451S in my 4550 (a basic 4X) and with the
help at this website:
http://www.cdfreaks.com/
I changed the firmware and made it a SOHW-832S (which is an 8X
dual-layer recorder)
Lite-On is an inexpensive...but very good drive.
Burning DVDs is rewarding...but takes quite a bit of study and
research to fathom.
(compared with burning cds)

Tom,
I agree with you, except the academically part.
Nothing more
frustrating than scrolling down a rather long post to read a one line reply.
Top post rules! The exception would be to make a point by point rebuttal to
a long post.
