OT: DVD formats



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Just a quick question. I finally got a dual-layer DVD writer, and made 
up a huge collection of home movies to play on the DVD player. I 
burned a DVD-R DL disk as a video DVD, and it worked _perfectly_ in 
the commodity DVD player that's connected to my TV.

However, when I try to play that same DVD on my laptop, which does not 
have a dual-layer DVD _burner_ but has had no problems reading the 
8+GB normal movie DVDs, it cannot read the disk. 

Is this normal?

Also, DVD-R DL disks are darned hard to find. the +R DL disks are 
everywhere, but my player only plays DVD-R 4.5GB disks so I 
deliberately went looking for the -R DL just in case it wouldn't read 
+R of either density. How very strange all of this is.
