    I have a NEC ND3500AG dvd burner that burns double layer discs. I purchased some Ridata DVD-RDL double Layer discs but Nero doesn't seem to recognize the whole 8.5g storage capacity. It only recognizes the normal DVD size. Did I buy the wrong media? Thanks in advance!

    Too little info. Which firmware are you using? Which Nero version number are you using?

    I would update Nero to a newer Version. This should solve your problem. Also can you use another software to see it if will see the media. You can try Imgburn.

    2.16 is the shipped firmware for the 3500. Download the latest 2.19 or 2.1a firmware for greater media compatibility and fully supported 4x DL write strategies.

    The NEC 3500 will burn DVD+RDL but not DVD-RDL.

    http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/popup/3500/specs

    Liggy & Dee do not list any firmware updates for the 3500 to burn DVD-RDL media.
