Does anyone recommend using double layer dvd's so the dvd movie wont compress as much to a 4.7 dvd. I have seen a decrease in picture quality because of this compression. Also does anyone know of a good brand, where i can find dual layers at a better price than in staples for example. Does anyone also know if dual layers are here to stay or will they not be around much longer(just a roomer ive heard and im just confirming). Thanks again to all ..
DVD decrypter is the best free program out there dont keep dvd x copy it is a good program but dvd decrypter is a better running program.
@ gerard514 If you want perfect 1:1 copies of an entire DL original then using DL blank media is the way to go. As for brands I know that Verbatim makes DL media and they are a manufacturer that I trust so I'd recommend looking online at either http://newegg.com or http://rima.com for them. I don't see the DL format going away any time soon

I use Verbattim DVD+R DL for episodic disks and very long movies and haven't had a problem with them. They have come down in price over the last few months and I would expect them to fall more over the next little while.
Why is it that i havent seen any dual layer in the dvd -r format. All of them seem to be in +r format and i am wondering if there would be some sort of problems on older dvd players. I have totally steered away from dvd+r being that some dvd players just dont work with that kind of a format. Thanks for the help, GV.
@ GV, You are correct. Older players don't do +R media. The +R media didn't come out until 03' so the older players weren't setup for it. Also, some newer discs that are 8X and up have trouble on some players as well. SOLUTION: Buy a Cyber-Home ($39.99) cheapo player. It will play a plastic FrizzBee if there isn't too much caked mud on it Cheers, Pete
I did read some time ago that DVD-R DL disks were being (or were about to be) manufactured - but as yet haven't seen any yet. The "el cheapo" DVD players are amazing and will play anything I throw into it.
Give it time - There will be -R Dual-layer discs - though I doubt there will be any difference between the 2 - just as there isn't any difference between 8X now. Go Figure, Huh ?
