DVD-R DL

[JamesB69]

when can we expect to see DVD-R DL burners available?

I'd like to get one of the Pioneer, NEC, or LG drives once they get this feature.

In January Pioneer is supposed to release the 109 (I read it somewhere).

January? I have heard no such thing.

When? Probably not until late spring.

Please tell me you've not been holding out for a year just because it's a -R? Like all new things, it will cost more and the media will be (more) expensive.

You can probably pick up a +DL for under $100 and spend the money you save on some DL disks, and more importantly a set-top player that can play DL disks (most can't!).

NEC ND-3520A supports dvd-r dl. I will add the dvd-r dl search feature to the dvd writer list soon.

you really think they will relesase dvd-r dl firmware for the 3520A? It doesnt really make sense when they could make people buy new drives.

bazooka made a comment about me getting it for $45 and he paid $50. The I told him I got my via open box/return so the marked another $5 off the sale price....

BTW, The guy was wheeling out these drives on a small cart while I was there. He did it a few times then got tired of it and brought out the whole palet

Just go to a different register.

That is what I do. It is very easy to bypass the limit.

[koolaidwa]

yea, most people dont even care, and that limit one is on the bigger things really, for that stuff they dont care
