combo drive - dual layer/double layer
Hi -
I thought the drive in my laptop (dell inspiron 6400) was dual layer, but I just look at specs on the websiteand they only mention 'double layer' in the specs (only dvd+r double layer, not dvd-r). Does this really mean I cannot burn dual layer discs?
If I can burn double layer discs, I suppose I have to turn over the disc and burn each side separately - has anyone done this in linux?
thanks, because I'm getting confused with this!

Re: combo drive - dual layer/double layer
"Write DVD+R Double Layer | Max 6X"
Seems alright to me. Just avoid -R DL discs. Double layer means two layers on one side, so there's nothing to turn.

Why?

Re: combo drive - dual layer/double layer
thanks for the reply -
so, I can buy a disc like this and burn 8.5g with my current drive?
if so, what exactly is the difference of double or dual layer?
