ªAbout DVD-R DL (dual layer on

single side)

DVD-R DL (dual layer on single side) discs have two layers of recording and playback surface on one side. If a scene does not fit on the first layer (L0), recording continues on the second layer (L1) so one scene is recorded across two layers. This unit automatically switches layers during disc playback so you can play the whole of the disc continuously like a normal disc. However, the image or the sound may momentarily stop at the point where the layers switch.
