[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 718965, member: 56231"] Yeah, that's single layer. 4.7 Gb is the maximum amount of data that you can put on it, whether it's +R or -R. Dual layer disks will have the letters DL, with a capacity of something like 8 Gb. Suggestion: put a commercial DVD in your Mac, and then Get Info about the disk. Example: I've got a movie disk in my Mac right now and it's 7.9 Gb because it's dual layer with a running time of 2.25 hours. Its movie format is uncompressed, made for watching on a dvd player. A 4.7 Gb disk would run a movie of perhaps 1 - 1.5 hours. [/QUOTE]
