The double layer or Dual Layer disc, also called DVD-R9, is a derivative of the DVD-R format standard. DVD-R DL discs hold 8.5 GB by utilizing two recordable dye layers, each capable of storing a little less than the 4.7 gigabyte (GB) of a single layer disc, almost doubling the total disc capacity. This drive supports dual-layer media and is able to read and write a specific format that provides additional recording space via a second recordable layer. ^Daphane
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Double layer gives you 8.5G of storage on each DVD, as opposed to 4.7 for a single layer - minus some overhead, of course, but still gives you 1.93 time as much capacity.
