offers two recordable
layers
on a
single
DVD
disc,
providing nearly
double the
capacity
of 4.7GB
single layer
DVDs. The
greatest,
most valuable benefit of double
layer recording
technol-
ogy
is increased
capacity. Storage space
is
nearly
dou-
bled with double
layer
DVD+R
media,
allowing
con-
sumers to burn
up
to 8.5GB of video on a
single
DVD+R disc.

DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for
recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows

only
once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for
re-writable
media,
meaning
the DVD content can be
erased and re-recorded.

4.38
Gigabytes

much.
