Using Double-Layer Technology and Media

(Select models only)

Double-layer media means you can record on two “layers” of one side of a DVD. Double-layer technology uses two thin, embedded, organic dye films for data storage separated by a spacer layer. Each layer has different optical properties.

General information about double-layer DVD+R discs:

■You can record 3 hours of DVD-quality video or 6 hours of VHS-quality video, without turning over the disc.

■This disc can hold up to 8.5 GB (about the equivalent of 12 CDs). This almost doubles the standard storage capacity of 4.7 GB for the single-layer DVD+R discs currently available.

■Double-layer writing capability is supported by RecordNow! and WinDVD Creator. These are CD and DVD recording software programs that came with your HP Media Center PC.

■Double-layer DVD+R discs can only be written to with a double-layer DVD+RW/+R drive.

■These discs can’t be erased or written to again.

■You can record up to 6 hours of video files, depending on the quality of the recording.

■You can use these discs to back up your hard disk drive files.

■These discs are able to play back in most commercially available DVD players.
