dbminter Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Do they make double layer rewritable discs, DVD+RW DL or DVD-RW DL? I've seen them supposedly supported in the capabilities list of my drives but I've not seen any samples yet to use. And, if they do make them, where in the US can I order some? Thanks!

Cynthia Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've never seen any on sale here around. Seems the -RW DL's should be out this year. World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Especially on DVD-RW DL. I've only just seen my first examples of DVD-R DL discs earlier today on NewEgg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFriday13 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 When I bought my 4167B, asked the guy if there is such a think as a DL RW, he said yes they will be coming out soon. Yeah right, I don't drink Tui, it's been just over two years since . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well, as it turns out, my drives DON'T support DVD-RW DL and DVD+RW DL discs! Well, the external drive may support them, but, it's not worth a look turning it on to check. Edit: decided to turn on the power to the external to check, but, I don't expect much as it is a drive that is older in terms of product number versus one that is internally installed. And, yep, there's no support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFriday13 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Just have a look at my LG GSA 4167B, it also supports DVD-RW DL . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Just have a look at my LG GSA 4167B, it also supports DVD-RW DL . CHEEKY! Besides, I tend to avoid LG drives as LG has jokingly been referred to as Lucky Good for you if the drive works right. I had a few rebadged LG drives that were fine except for Playstation 2 DVD playback. Random skips that other drives didn't produce. Of course, I can't really blame the drive as the Playstation 2 is a really lousy DVD player when it comes to writable discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFriday13 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Yes, I would agree about the PS2. I have noticed skips here and there during playback, not so with my new writer. Unfortunately, its the only standalone DVD player I have, so I have to make do. It was one of the last big versions when the slimline version came out (I bought mine Feb 2004).

dbminter Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 For a while, the PS 2 was my only DVD player, too. That was one of the main selling points why I got one. I didn't have a DVD player, it played the old games as well as the new games, and still played CD's. (My Playstation 1 was my first CD player ever, believe it or not.) I was one of those who pre-ordered early and got mine when everyone was selling theirs on eBay. I should have probably done the same but decided I'd rather keep it and be able to say I have what everyone else wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
