Hey all-
I noticed on Dell.com lastnight that they are now offering dual layered burners in their notebooks and desktops, I didnt' realize that was going to happen so soon. So far I haven't seen them on any other computer company site as of yet.
Question: Is it worth it to consider a dual layered burner verses a signle layered one? Currently, when ever I make copies of a DVD that is more then 4.7GB in size, I use DVDShrink so I can fit the contents onto a 4.7GB disk and to be honest, the 'shrinkage' is pretty hard to see, I haven't found myself complaining about it yet.
Question: I have to assume that these dual layered DVD recordable disks are going to be expensive as heck and I just bought a 50 pack of Verbatim DVD+R disks so I don't want to lose my investment in that. Anyone know how much these dual layered disks cost and are the store selling them yet? I haven't seen them out yet.
Finally, if a person is going to be buying a notebook in the next few days, would he/she be stupid to not get a dual layered burner or is sticking with a single layered one ok? I was also curious if my burning programs (Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, DVD Decryptor and DVDShrink would work when burning onto a dual layered DVD with a dual layered DVD recorder?
I guess thats it, it seems that everytime I'm ready to make a decision on what I'm about to buy, something new comes out!
Thanks.
