Using Double-Layer Technology and Media

(Select models only)

Double-layer technology gives you almost twice the storage capacity of a single-layer DVD and the storage equivalent of 12 CDs. Double-layer DVD media can store up to 8.5 GB* of data. 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. 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 PC.

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

These discs cannot be erased or written to again.

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.

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

Double-layer media compatibility will vary with some home DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.
