    Well, you can store twice as much on a dual layer disc. (With respect to Video DVD, you don't have to compress the original DVD - just decrypt and burn.)
    The downside is that dual layer media is about 10 times as expensive as single layer...

    That is the only benefit.

    Dual layer blanks are too expensive and compatibility is only about 30%.

    I haven't seen anything on compatibility being this low. Where did you get this number?

    Although far from expert, I can say that the Verbatim DL+R's have 100% success in my Lite-on 832s, and my Pioneer A08.
    Playing on Koss KS3123-2, Nexxtech 161-1000, and Norcent DP 313.

    Ask lordsmurf

    I have also read that compatibility is horrible in computer magazines.
