Dual-layered discs allow writing up to 80% more data (2.6 GB) on a single recording side according to DVD Forum specifications. Dual layered discs have two recording layers on a single recording side. The camcorder will record on the first layer until it is full and then continue on the second layer (as a separate scene).

Available disc specifications: VIDEO mode only.

Reusability: Disc can be used only once. Recordings cannot be edited or deleted.

Finalization: Once finalized, additional recordings cannot be made. To finalize a

dual layered disc the camcorder has to process both layers. Therefore, and depending on the amount of free space on the disc, this process may be lengthy.

Compatibility: A finalized DVD-R DL can only be played back on DVD devices compatible with dual layered discs.

• During the playback of a recording spanning both layers, you may notice a brief stop at the point where the camcorder switches from Layer 1 to Layer 2.
