2 Full Movies on a Single DVD-R?

[boodo]

Hey!

I just thought that programs such as DVD2One, DVDShrink et al all downsize movies to fit onto a 4.7GB disk with a relatively minor decrease in video quality. However, by that reasoning if writeable DVD-9 disks were/ARE available, with a basic menu system added, you could comfortably put 2 FULL movie backups onto a SINGLE DVD-R and that would be REALLY handy.

I'm sure this might have been asked before but I was just wondering if anyone knows whether writeable DVD-9 disk are available or due to come out and what (if any) writers available will support it.

Thx

Check out the FAQ at the head of the forum and my post in amongst this little lot:

In short, dual layer DVD-R's are not going to arrive any time soon, although the "flipper" does seem to be making a comeback in the DVD-R world.
