I have just a few DVD films I would like backups of - but when I tried, my computer told me I need a bigger capacity DVD disk. I didn't know they come in different sizes. What do I look for? Tom |

Tom DVD's come in both single layer and dual layer formats. Single layer DVD's can hold about 4.7GB of data. Dual layer DVD's can hold about 8.5GB of data. All commercial movie DVD's are Dual layer discs, therefore you cannot back up a dual layer disc to a single layer disc without shrinking it (compressing) first. Either that or backup to a dual layer DVD (which are expensive and hard to find compared to single layer discs). |
