Goggle hits it first if you enter 'dvd faq', at: http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html General info on dual-layer DVD-Videos: http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#1.18 And the plethora of DVD +R/+RW/-R/-RW and computers http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#4.3 There's not mention of, and I've not heard of, any dual layer recorders in the consumer space. -- Kevin Brosius _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
