double layer rw dvds?

csonni · May 2nd, 2005, 11:07 AM

Are there double layer rewritable (DVD-RW) dvd's available, or just the dvd-rs? I know there are the single layer dvd-rw's but what about double layer?

There are DVD+RW DL disks around, but they are prohibitively expensive. Come to think of it, DVD+R DL isn't exactly cheap, either.

I bought a pack of 5 DVD+R DL today for $50, but I took them back, prefering rewritables instead. i didn't ask if they had them. I just replaced them with DVD-RW's (singles). If I find the dual layer rewritables anywhere, within a rational price, I will pick them up.

Sonnam in Toronto (www.sonnam.com) has them for $7.50. They were $10 about a month or so ago. As they become more popular, expect prices to fall.

Edit: The $7.50 is for dvd+r dl
