Dual-Layer DVD Burner Reviewed

Sony DRU-700A Dual-Layer DVD Burner:
"DVD burners have dropped rapidly in price over the past twelve months, while performance has steadily increased. Such is the march of technology, and having the capability to burn DVDs has been a boon for amateur videographers. But one fly has remained in the ointment: dual layer DVDs. Until recently, all DVD recordable drives on the market could only burn to a single layer disc, which limits capacity to 4.7GB.

Last fall, the DVD RW Alliance finalized its spec for DVD R DL. The 'DL' stands for 'dual layer.' Currently, only DVD R DL support is available, but dual layer DVD-R drives will likely appear later in the year."
