Using Double-Layer Technology and Media
(Select models only)
Double-layer media means you can record on two
“layers” of one side of a DVD. Double-layer
technology uses two thin, embedded, organic dye
films for data storage separated by a spacer layer.
Each layer has different optical properties.
General information about double-layer DVD+R
discs:
■ You can record 3 hours of DVD-quality video
or 6 hours of VHS-quality video, without
turning over the disc.
■ This disc can hold up to 8.5 GB (about the
equivalent of 12 CDs). This almost doubles the
standard storage capacity of 4.7 GB for the
single-layer DVD+R discs currently available.
■ Double-layer writing capability is supported
by RecordNow! and WinDVD Creator. These
are CD and DVD recording software
programs that came with your HP Media
Center PC.
■ Double-layer DVD+R discs can only be written
to with a double-layer DVD+RW/+R drive.
■ These discs can’t be erased or written to
again.
■ You can record up to 6 hours of video files,
depending on the quality of the recording.
■ You can use these discs to back up your hard
disk drive files.
■ These discs are able to play back in most
commercially available DVD players.
