Dual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per disc, compared with 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Sony.

Main Advantage- Size! \nThe *typical* DVD can hold 4.7gigs of data, where a *typical* CD holds 700megs of data. With the newer DVD Writers (and re-Writers) They have introduced a "Dual Layer" DVD that holds 8.5gigs of data, or 12 CDs worth of data, but they require a Dual Layer compatible reader to work with them, where a standard (older) DVD drive would mainly take CDs or DVDs, but not Dual Layer DVDs.\nBoth DVDs and CDs are available in right once or re-writable, but with older DVD writers, they used one format to read and write where two were available- so there are DVD-R or -RW and DVD+R or +RW. Newer burners will deal with both, as will newer readers. \nCost used to be an issue, but recently, its been cheaper to buy DVDs on sale (right once) than but CDs (right once).

DivxToDVD, while it's name says 'divx' is an excellent all-around tool for creating normal DVDs from videos.\n\nWhen I just went to find the link, it looks like they changed its name to CovertXtoDVD.

No it is not difficult to install a DVD Writer on your own.Its simple plugging the IDE cable (the broad gray coloured cable) and a power cable.. thats it! :)\nAbout your slot question, if i understood correctly, you mean to replace either CD writer or CD rom? If i had to do it, i would put it in my CD rom slot so that I have one for writing CDs, one for DVDs and ofcourse both can read CDs (thus makin plain CDROM redundant).

Try BlindWrite.\nUsing BlindWrite, write the movies to an image file and then, write the image file to the DVD disk using BlindWrite.

The dvd may be in a dual-layer format, in which there are two layers of data, only some drives can read and/or burn them.

not on a dvd drive, it has to be a dvd (re)writer. dvd writers can handle both, CDs and DVDs.

Dual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per side, compared to 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Philips.\n\nDVD recordable discs supporting this technology are backward compatible with most existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. Many current DVD recorders support dual-layer technology, and the price point is comparable to that of single-layer drives, though the blank media remains significantly more expensive. Currently the technology has severe problems with compatibility in DVD players. Dual Layer Drives will work with Regular DVD-R drives.

For your answer: YES.\nYou should get a DVD ripper.\n\nA DVD ripper rips your DVD into VCD format.. The quality ofcourse is not as good as the DVD.\n\nThe program suggested by mLahji is also good. I use Pinnacle Studios DVD ripper. You might want to compare prices on the internet and buy a good software from your local store.\n\nAlso :) your 2-4x will take too much time to write. Better buy a 48-52x which will take lesser time ;).

Try Ulead DVD Movie Factory! It's very good at merging/spliting/converting and writing movies to cd/dvd.

Nero's probably the most versatile software for it, but it's really bloated. You might try dvd decrypter ImToo DVD Creator.

Dual layer DVD ofcourse. It can hold data upto 7.9 GB (Claim to hold 8.5 GB) whereas the runner up single layer DVD can hold data upto 4.38 GB (Claim to hold 4.5 GB).\n\nBut the you also get Blue-ray dual layer disc in the market which can hold 50 GB.

Hi,\n\nNothing is for free. Can you explain further? Are you actually expecting someone to tell you where you can get a DVD writer at no cost? Be real.\n\nTry this site for reasonably priced DVD writers:\n\nhttp://www.salescircular.com

It is perfectly fine, however I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have to.  I would set IDE 1 with Master HD and then IDE 2 as master DVD and slave DVD.\n\nEDIT:  Ummm, yes it will, I have done it.  Don't really know what else to say, alchemist may have a lot of years of experience, but he is wrong here.  Now you will have trouble burning to both at the same time, but just having them connected is not a problem.  If you are interested in burning two DVDs at the same time, then you should go ahead and leave it with them on seperate IDEs, but even then you need a very powerful system to do that.
