What am I not undertanding? Not sure what you're quoting. That page says: The additional storage capacity of the DVD+R Double Layer disc enables you to record up to 4 hours of DVD-quality video or 16 hours of VHS-quality video, without the need to turn over the disc. You can now archive up to 8.5 Gbytes of computer files on a single disc, which almost doubles the storage capacity compared with the 4.7Gbytes for the single-layer DVD-recordable discs currently available. There is a difference between double *layer* and double *sided*. The former is a single-sided disc that support two layers of data. The burner changes the frequency of the laser, to reach the other layer. The latter is a single layer disc that has writable substrait on both sides - so it must be turned over to reach the other 4 gigs. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: DVD Issues
Hi Group. Just wanted to mention that years ago, when I first started burning CDs/CDRWs, I had trouble burning anything with my newly purchased Iomega ZIP 650 on my 350MHz iMac Blueberry running OS 9. I contacted Iomega after the first 50 coasters, and they responded with a list of preferred brands of discs. Upon switching to a few of the listed discs, I had no trouble at all burning everything I wanted. With the newer burners on the market, even the internal ones, coasters seem to be almost non-existant these days, provided you follow the burner's instructions. I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your burner(s) to ascertain if they have certain brands that work better in their equipment.
