Double-layer DVD technology is supported by select models only.

The InterVideo

WinDVD Creator and RecordNow! recording programs support the double- layer technology.

NOTE: This PC comes with the Double-Layer DVD Writer. It supports single-layer and double- layer DVD media. Double-layer technology gives you greater capacity and allows you to store up to 8.5 GB* of data on double-layer DVD+R media.

Double-layer is a new technology. Double-layer media compatibility will vary widely with some home DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.

*GB is defined as 1 billion bytes. 1 GB = 1 billion bytes when referring to hard disk drive capacity. Actual formatted capacity is less.
