You mean dual layer DVDs?

I believe you are referring to dual layer DVDs, as gannon suggested. You can get them here, where everyone should always buy all of their computer related items.

And no, I don't work for NewEgg. I'm just a standard fanboy of theirs.

I would suggest looking at Meritline, Microcenter, or try salescircular.com all have DVD+/-R DL for $2 a disc or less. I haven't burned with one myself, I have a 10 pack I was given for when I want a copy of select movies someone has offered me.

I asked for a pack of DLs for... I think Christmas last year. I figured they'd come in handy for burning those extra long anime series.

Consequently I've only downloaded standard 26 episode, 3.5GB-4.3GB series since then... so they're still in the plastic.

Send me $30, and I'll pick you up a pack of DVD-R DL discs.

You can send me $30 too.

And your credit card number and expiration date, and me and gannon will check if it's been stolen.

I'm pretty sure you need a dual layer burner though. I don't think normal burners will work. Anyone like to verify?

Majority of DVD burners made now-a-days are DL standard, but some old burners (Like mine DAMNIT!) won't burn dual layer dvds. Anyways, if you have any more questions...

PM me!

Huh... you're right... he does say that all the time, doesn't he?

BTW, the "

" in my previous post was supposed to denote joking as well... I hope that's not misunderstood.
