Dual Layer Disks

Hello,

I just called Toshiba nd they have no answer to my question.

Will my Toshiba SD-3980 DVD player play Dual Layer Disks?

Does anyone know if the re recordable Dual Layer Disks will record on a current recorder compatable with standard Dual Layer Disks?

I did see an article that said they will be able to but can not confirm this.

Thank you,

Mrbear

 

Here is your player, and yes it does play +R DL's only. Also only plays +R period. I have an older Toshiba that only plays -R format but if I bitset to my +R DL's it plays the fine.

Outstanding!

I guess I did not spend enough time looking on that site.

Just received another reply from Toshiba confirming what you just confirmed for me.

But they only mentioned DL commercial disks.

I am assuming my player can play non comercial DL disks as well.

Yes,

I understand that it only plays Plus disks as well.

Ritek just replied to my email and said any recorder that supports DL disks can record on a re writable DL as well.

Thank you very much,

You are welcom, I am assuming since commercial DVD's are really classified as DVD-Roms that the info on media in the descriptor means that it does play +R DL burned media, but you never know players can be funny. My old Toshiba is my picky player so I test out all my burns on it, if they play on that they will play on anything. Happy burning

 

Thank you again!

I was wondering what Commercial DL Layer disks are called.
Now I know thanks to you.

The only reason I have this model Toshiba player ist because they had a recal on my old Toshiba player.They sent me the new one for free.
It is arather cheap player to begin with but it works.

I am currently looking for a Hard Disk and DVD recorder that can record on DL Layer disks.
I think I will most likely go for one of Lite on's new models.

I really appreciate all your help.
