"Duel layer disks"

I need to get rid of soem stuff on my PC but there is a lot of it.

I have a DVD writer, but will it write dual layer ones?

Thanks for the advice but I simply bought some DVD-R's.

Absolutely awesome, that's my drive.

I had no idea...

I have a Pioneer 106D. I don't think it's upgradeable to DL :(

If by some stroke of luck col's drive is a sony dwu-18a like mine then this guide is useful.

Also i think Sony and Lite on are actually the same, Sony being rebranded lite on's.

Yep, this works because alot of the drives on the market share the same inner workings, I know that a lot of Lite On and MSI drives have compatible firmware, I guess that they come off the same production lines.

With regard to dual layer DVD burners I guess the firmware simply activates the ability of the laser to focus onto two layers
