bigger dvd-r disks?

[dvdhacker sweden]

have they come out yeat? 7-8 gig double sided

Double sided yes, they are out there. Double layer, no and not likely to ever be.
Pioneer makes some but they are very expensive... I think a few of the ultra cheap manufactuers do also.

Flame me if i'm wrong but i remember reading that dual layer disks are pressed on top of eachother and therefore will not be able to be burned by a conventional dvd writer. So not likely to be available ever unless writers are built for it.

[Faustus]

You are correct about dual layer disk... he was asking about the double sided disk and they are out there, though I myself have not messed with them.

PrimeDisc makes 9.4Gb double-sideds, which you can currently get from www.shop4tech.com for $2.79 apiece.

I haven't used the double-sided ones, but I've used their single-sided discs with good results, so I have no reason to doubt that the double-sided ones would work just as well...

Any double sided DVD+R or +RW yet?

Rotting in the corner.

Speaking of Primedisc just got my first batch in... so far the only movie I burned was 4.1gb but so far they are doing great. I still suggest getting a test batch before jumping into a huge ammout though as I've not tested them completely yet.
