DVD+R DL (Double Layer) is a new player entering the DVD field, expanding the family to six members in total: DVD+R DL, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, & DVD+RW. With video & high-resolution photography moving from analog into digital, the number of applications demanding higher capacities has grown. DVD+R DL will enable you to record 4 hours of DVD-quality video or 16 hours of VHS-quality video, without the need to turn over the disc. PC users are able to archive up to 8.5GB of computer files on a single disc, which almost doubles the storage capacity compared with the 4.7GB for the single-layer DVD+R discs currently available.
