Current DVD burners won't be able to burn to dual layer media. You need a dual layer capable DVD burner for this, and the first one is expected to hit the shelf during this month.

I've read something about $150 or $170 for the first one.
But I would wait some time so that the usual bugs (every new kind of technology has bugs when first introduced) get sorted out. You won't find alot of dual layered DVD+R's either at the vey beginning (it's also only DVD+R, not DVD+RW, that comes dual layered. . just to let you know) RJ |

No, that's not out - that's a preorder. At least we have a price to go by - 200 bucks MSRP.
