Hi, Most drives will burn dual layer nowadays but it seems to me that there is a trade-off required...
Depending on the necessity for using a blank dual-layer DVD. They cost a great deal more than single-layer and if it's to be used for anything like movies or music...then there are programs such as Moviegate or more particularly Toast that will *shrink* most of these files to single-layer... If you require dual-layer for pure data then feel free.. :) Cheers, Kevin from Wycheproof. >hi all > >I was looking at getting a dual layer DVD drive Couple of months ago >at Harvey Norman. >it was an LG and I cam not remember what the model number was it was >$63 For the drive >End you can get a enclosure for about $70 to $90 And I'm pretty sure >you could make it region free to > >Regards, Kyle > >On Dec 31, 2007 4:22 PM, Mark Secker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> while we're talking DVD drives and region encoding, does anybody >> know/recommend a good FireWire or USB2 external dual layer DVD R/W >> drives that can support multi region disks (can be, preferably, bios >> cracked or at least will work with VLC) >> >> >> >Actually VLC does work on Intel Macs with the DVD's. >> > >> >It just doesn't work on Intel Macs that had a certain DVD drive them >> >due to this drive having the ability to lock itself down and not allow >> >VLC to bypass the region lock >> > >> >> On Dec 31, 2007 10:39 AM, Jude <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> > VLC works fine here on my eight core Intel Mac Pro.
