Recording
to DVD-R DL
and +R DL
DVD-R DL and +R DL discs have two layers of recording surface on one side.
-R DL
Recordings are divided when recording changes from the first layer to the second. Some images and audio
may be lost at this point.
+R DL
Recordings continue through the layer change with only a slight pause similar to what you will see with
commercial DVD-Video discs. Any recording exceeding 8 hours in length is automatically divided whether a layer
change is required or not.
