Probably you can count some of the 50% missing to your side.

I do not know which media is better but one thing for sure:
heavy DRM is under way on any new media which plays movies.

Well I hope that the cost comes down on Dual Layer DVD-R those things still cost a fortune....

You can pick up dual layer DVD-R drives for like £25 these days.

I have had the drive for awhile but have never used the dual layer function....due to that the media is just still too pricey for my taste..I have stuck with the single layer 4.7GB DVD+-R media. but hey it works so im not complaining but it would be nice to burn more data on a single disc.
