Yeah. Like DVD Audio, or DVD-A. I've had an entirely different meaning for DVDA for the last 10 years or so *shudder*.

[Fat Tone]

AND its a misleading acronym. Shouldn't it be DVORDA...unless midgets are involved maybe?

Edit: perhaps DVorDAorV&A? And why are Victoria and Albert getting mentioned in GHW/SW anyway?

I agree, DL media is way too expensive atm. In theory my NEC 2500A can be flashed to use DL, but it isn't worth it yet.

Wait for more DVD-R DL drives to come out. DVD+R DL isn't likely to be any more back-compatable than its single layer version was. Decks <1 yr old should be OK, but otherwise....

Reports I've seen suggest that +DL compatibility is OK. I don't believe them, since +r single layer has reflectivity levels of pressed dual layer. However, if reports continue coming in of good compatibility then maybe some of the new wonder[1] dyes are making a difference...

[1] I call them that because they are supposed to do wonderful things; work with any write strategy, not have heavy metals in them, make your tea......

I'm not sure why Dick Van Dyke always comes to mind....
