Not as soon as most people hope (including Jim Cameron). DVD-18 technology is not yet out of the laboratory. It requires a completely different way of creating two layers. Single-sided, dual-layer discs are produced by putting one data layer on each substrate and gluing the halves together with transparent adhesive so that the pickup laser can read both layers from one side. But in order to get four layers, each substrate needs to hold two.

Soon. Some replicators plan to produce double-sided discs, dual-layer discs, and double-dual discs from day one. Obviously the prices will be higher, but certain producers already require more space than is available on a single side or single layer. All players will play dual-layer discs -- it's required. All players will also play double-sided discs if you flip the discs over. No manufacturer has announced a player that will play both sides. (See 2.

A dual-layer disc has two layers of data, one of them semi-transparent so that the laser can focus through it and read the second layer. Since both layers are readable from the same side, a dual-layer disc can hold almost twice as much as a single-layer disc, for over 4 hours of video (see 3.3 for more details). Many dual-layer discs are currently available (such as Contact, Goldeneye, Species, Raging Bull, and Rain Man).

A double major means that a student receives one diploma that covers two majors. Students who choose two majors in business, such as finance and management, will receive only one diploma but both major fields of study will be noted on the transcript. A dual degree means that a student receives two diplomas for two majors. Students must earn a minimum of 150 credit hours, 90 of which are junior/senior-level, to meet dual degree requirements.

It is a type of DVD with double the storage capacity of standard discs. It contains two recording/ data layers. A transparent spacer is exist between the two recording layers. Semitransparent reflector layer of first recording layer accepts the laser to access data which is then passes to the second layer. Recording of first layer starts from inner edge to outer edge, where as in the second layer it is from outer to inner.

DVD+R DL or called DVD+R9 is a Dual Layer writeable DVD+R. The dual layered discs can hold 8.54 GB (called DVD-9) and...

Games on DVD-9 media are currently unsupported by HDLoader. If you attempt to install a DVD-9 game it is likely that the installation will appear successful, but any attempt to actually run the game will most likely fail. There are currently under 10 DVD-9 games for the PS2, so hopefully this is not too much of a problem.

A dual layer DVD looks and feels just like a standard DVD. However, dual layer DVD??s allow the user to record two separate layers of data onto the same disc, meaning that it can store almost twice as much data as a typical DVD. A standard recordable DVD has a storage capacity of around 4.7GB, while a Duel Layer DVD will allow for around 8.5GB.

Double layering film usually leads to two problems. First, the adhesive is designed to bond to glass; it will not bond clearly and correctly to another sheet of film. Then, the second layer of film may stick immediately to the first layer, preventing you from squeegeeing all of the water out. Usually, double layer films trap air bubbles and water pockets that grow in size and number over time. Fortunately, GILA® Limo Black® films are available, so there is no need to layer.

Yes, it seems to, it will be necessary to test more, but I have already tested a copy of my DVD #1 of "The Return of the King" (long version). Copied on DVD+R DL Verbatim Datalife Plus (Mitsubishi Kagaku Media) 2.4x, burned at 4x with Nero 6.6.0.3. I have ripped the tracks with DVDShrink without compression, keeping all items (menus, etc.) ... 7,45 Gb burned.

PatchBurn will not give you double layer support. This is up to the burn engine inside Mac-OS X, PatchBurn has no influence on that. For double layer support please use Roxio Toast Titanium 6.0.7 or newer.
