Are people buying blank dual/double layer DVDs yet?

[isasir]

So dual layer burners have been out for awhile, but I did a quick search on pricing, and it seems that they're still around $7 per blank DVD. Are any of you actually using dual-layer discs or just the old single layer discs?

I bought the ol' NEC 2500A a few months before dual layer DVD burners came out, and I was a bit annoyed at the time that I didn't wait a bit. But, it seems like it didn't really matter, as it might take awhile before dual layer disks become mainstream.

No, nobody can afford them.

i see DL media at 5 bucks a pop but that's still way too expensive for me

i'm waiting for it to drop to 1 buck a disc and i'll probably buy a pack

There's a hot deal for 3 DL discs for 4 bucks.

No, most people are not retarded.

Is there a reason why cost is still so high? (Perhaps a "conspiracy" with the MPAA? )

 

[Bootprint]

I'll upgrade once I run out of 8" discs.

Because it costs more to manufacture DL and nobody's buying them.

Meh, that's too simple an answer. I want a conspiracy!

id liked to have dual layer media for when i make home videos, but i dont want to spend $20-$30 for a 3 pack when i need like 10 of them. besided i cant find any of them around here.

they will drop in the next year or so when blue-ray or HD-dvd invade the market....just watch!

4.38GB is plenty for any home video. If you got more video, put it on a 2nd 4.38GB DVD. Why waste money on dual layer DVDs when you know you'll scratch them up in no time.
