Dual Layer DVD±R
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 2:37 pm
OK, once again I voluntarily ask the stupid question about something.....
I've never used dual layer DVDs for anything. I'm looking at them primarily for backing up my rather large movie/music collection lest I lose it all to a dead drive. Additionally, some of my movies, like "Blade Runner" are on multiple discs so I'd like to put both parts on one disc in order to play it in my DVD player in the living room.
My question is that I can only seem to find dual layer discs in +R format which does not work (or it never has) in a regular DVD player. Can anyone tell me where I can find the -R variety?
I did find these http://www.meritline.com/ritek-ridata-4 ... 18355.aspx on a Mac forum but they're not highly recommended in the reviews because they're only 4x. My burner is 12x for DL. Every other place I've looked only has +R.
Thanks!
