DVD-R: 9.4GB anytime soon?

[Night201]

So, we all know that they have 4.7GB burners and media out. Anyone know of any plans for 9.4GB burners and media coming out anytime soon?

i thought 9.4gb media is the same as 4.7 gb media just double sided?

Currently dual layerd DVDs are, basicly, two individual layers glued one on top of the other. Until the manufacturing process changes I don't think we'll see those in homes anytime soon. 🙂

I'm sorry, should have been more clear. I meant dual-layered, not double-sided.

i don't think it's possible to burn 2 layers. i think you might have to wait until blu-ray discs which hold 27GB on a single layer.

Yep... its physically impossible to burn 2 layers, the burning of the second layer would destroy the data on the first.
