Description from site:
DataLife Plus Purple/Purple DVD-Recordable media, double sided, 9.4 GB, for DVD-R General 2.0 conformant drives, 1x - 2x certified, unbranded, 5 pack, in paper sleeves. - $60

Since these are 2-sided can any dvd burner burn to other side? Do you have to flip it? $12/piece is pricey but it would allow great backups! Any help?

if they are anything like the dubles sided CD conter parts they will not work on a DVD player. the Dvd must have the ability to read a double sided DVD and as far as I know there ZERO right now.

Then what good are they? Only for Data? Do we have to wait for dual-layer to get 9 GB?

There are double-sided CDs??? Where??

what the heck... just turn the dvd disc, ain't that hard

My understanding is that double-sided is not double-layer. Obviously, there is no double-layer but there is nothing preventing us from flipping a single-layer DVD. It's about friggin' time the disks appeared on the market.

I don't undertand this post
I've seen double sided dvd disc 4.7+4.7 for a long time ago to buy at low cost and the only thing to do to read the other side it to turn the disc, what the heck..
