DoubleLayer DVD Recorder

[sussertown]

I have a double layer recorder but no discs yet. If I put the double layer disc in the drawer and try to burn a large video to it, does it automatically see the 9gigs? Do the 9 gigs then have any particular issues with DVD players that play videos? Thank you.

If you're using software that supports burning DL DVDs, then yes, it will recognize it as a DL disc and allow you to burn the full amount of data.

I have had trouble burning movies to dual layer and then my dvd player would not play after the layer change. My new hdd/dvd recorder plays them fine so you may or may not be lucky on that score, depends on your dvd player. Also my LG recorder burned dual layer as well which is great for either long programes or high quality.
Also reading your post again I take it you have a dual layer burner, I use nero and that sees dual layer no trouble.
