Recording
to DVD-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 are not divided in this way when recording changes from the first layer to the second, but play
may stop momentarily at the point where the layers change. Recordings are divided when they exceed 8 hours in
length.
