| 205765 | 2004-01-07 00:26:00 | Pretty much exactly what it says :) A single layer DVD is one layer and holds about 4.8GB of data A dual layer DVD has 2 layers and the DVD reader uses a different wavelength of the laser to read the second layer. They hold about 9.6GB of data. At this stage DVD writers can only do the single layer 4.8GB discs. |

| 205766 | 2004-01-07 00:38:00 | i just read on the net tht dvd writers can burn dual layers. Using Pinnacle Instant copy - it compresses it... thoughts on this? |
