This is not any dvd authoring. Please use the computer forum for non-video related stuff. I'm moving you.

hard to say without knowing what it is and where it came from... even vista ultimate is only about 2.5 GB... but there isn't any reason a DL dvdr shouldn't boot if it has the correct file system.

I wouldn't use anything else by Singapore manufactured Verbatim +R DL discs for this.

Assuming it is a bootable disc image that you are using, there is no reason why you can't boot from a DL disc.

Mac OS X Leopard comes in at 6GB so I'm gonna assume your installing that and as long as the image is bootable all you gotta do is grab a DL DVD open your burner software n burn it....happy installing

I don't think we really should be providing help to someone who obviously is NOT using a free OS (I work in IT for a living and there are ZERO Linux and FreeBSD distributions that require more than a single layer DVD. Most can even be booted from CD-R.) and obviously did NOT pay for what he is using.

Good advice guns1inger, but where I live we can't get anything but India manufactured Verbatim DVD+R DL discs. If anybody knows of a source in the USA or Canada for MCC or Singapore manufactured Verbatim DVD+R DL discs, I'd love to know what it is.

Actually, being in IT myself also, there are situations when you would need to put windows on a DL disc. I'm in the process of wrapping up a Vista package that when Office 07 is added in the mix along with a few 3rd party apps my wim file is 4.6g I also have a SIS DVD that is 6.9g for XP.
