DL DVD's?

I've burned a couple of DL dvd's and like some single layer discs, it depends on the mood of a player wether it will like the DL disc os not. My expencive Panasonic one, wont play light dye -R's but will play anything else (inc DL+R), my Recorder will play anything apart from -R light dye and Traxdata DL+R but will play Verbatum DL+R ok, My cheap £20uk one will play anything apart from Verbatum DL+R, my xbox only playes DL+R discs (refuses to accept theres even a dics in the drawer if i use SL-R or SL+Rs), and my PS2 dont giva damn what u put in, it will play it.

not much help i know but basicly its dependant on the discs you buy and the player you are trying to put them in.

 

I havn't started using them, but i was wondering where you would even find them for purchase?

i'm suprised that places like BestBuy, and OfficeMax don't carry them. I can't find them any where. I'm not sure if i would even buy the, cause i'm sure they would be expensive still.

 

thanx jon,

i think i might be missing them then, so next time i am there i will have to look again. That price does seem that bad i guess, once i use up my 50 pak of single layer discs i will have to give those a try.

 

my verbatim dvd+r DL have worked with my ps2 and apex dvd player. the only problem is you need a DL DVD-ROM to play movies them in a computer which is kind of annoying.

 

I could be wrong on this, but aren't dvd's that you rent or buy DL DVD's? If they are then wouldn't any DVD-ROM drive be able to read it?

Feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

 

I thought all commercial DVDs were DL as well except for those random double sided DVDs (i have one commercial DVD tht is double sided)

 

Its just whether or not a DVD player will recognize a burned DL DVD, just like some DVD players can't read DVD-R's and/or DVD+R's

 

I'm kinda suprised they don't have Apple branded DL DVDs yet, seeing as they have normal Apple DVDs.
