ok, do I go for a cheap DVD recorder or get a new duel layer one that can record on the new 8.4 gig DL discs?
NEC looks like the best bet and there's only £10 in it really, but do you think that the technology will change?

You're a fool if you get the version that is £10. If £10 is gonna ensure your DVD-Recording future, gopher it!
Go for the more expensive one that can do more, I'd say.
Data storage.
Think how many of my MP3s/video footage/media files I can fit on a single DL disc!
I could back up the whole of my MAME collection on two discs then.

If its only £10 more then fair enough, put it down as future proofing, but dual layer dvd-r's arent needed, not even now.
If i can squeeze return of the king 100% intact onto a 4.7gb dvd-r then wheres the point?

But they will come down. As I said, it's only around £10 more for the Dual Layer NEC drive, but it's whether this new technology* will change before the end of the year.
Though Sony also has a DL drive out, so with their backing it might be stable.
*yes, I know that films mostly use DL these days, but the home writing technology is slightly different to the DVD Pressing versions.

Personally, if I could afford it without too much fuss, would get the new dual layer one.
