25 gigs on a single layer disc, and 50 gigs on a dual layer disc. It uses a blue laser vs. a red laser. Blue lasers can focus on smaller pits than red lasers, so they can store more data.

It's the new high definition disc format that will replace DVDs.

Blu-Ray won the format war. HD-DVD was the loser.

Likely the type of discs you were using or NERO, if you're still using that worthless program?
If you haven't trying a different brand of discs, do that.
Before you attempt to burn one, reboot your comp and burn before you re-connect to torrents or start searching the web. Let all your comps resources go to burning the disc.

because asking a computer to stream 4GB is a completely different task than asking it to stream 8GB.
just because you purchased a DL burner doesnt mean it will function to the standards required for proper playback.
those people currently having an issue burning DL discs prove the point as the rest of us are fine & have always have been fine.

sorry, im being wordy..

if you cant burn a DL, its because your equipment sucks.

That is a myth perpetuated by people that need to research quality drives and media. Search here for people with trouble burning and you will see that it is common (people noted above) for both DVD5 and DVD9. I have burned two dual layer coasters and it was due to a bad drive that I had to replace. I have burned maybe 200 successful ones. I have never had a problem with playback. The computer than burned the majority of my duals (99 percent) was built in 2002. I consider it very outdated.

If you have a bad drive it will show up quicker with dual layer media for the reasons Wolf mentions above. It will eventually show it's head with DVD5 also if it is bad.

Re: Problems burning dual layer DVDs

Will flash drives someday replace optical discs? Would that be too expensive, and would the data not last as long?

Shopkin, try Verbatim DVD+R DL. Memorex sucks, and DVD-R DL aren't that great I think.

Re: Problems burning dual layer DVDs

Im hoping for some sort of 3D flash drives, like a memory cube, that would be dope

am i not right, YOU ARE THE MINORITY as of now
DLs havnt stood the test of time as of yet, if they did they would be just as cheap and single layers.

blu-ray's dope , thats the type of shit im hoping for, not a worthless extra 4 gigs, once 100 GB disc become the standard is when ill switch, for now im not getting punked out buying shitty DLs i give it like 3-5 years till they are at where DLs are now.

and memorex do suck...im not doubting that all you burn DLs with 100% success rate but you must realize that your all minority nerds who have time/funding/knowledge base to make them work. the more i think about it, the more i realize that shit shitty format is being pushed on us with little price reduction to maximize profit.

convenient huh?


i think id rather split it or switch discs, than have all my comp resources going to burn 4 extra gigs?

this conversation really makes me want to follow mr. marcel vogel-one of my heros, i bet if he were still alive we would even be talking about this, we would be well on our way to solid state storage
