RE: Dual Layer DVD + Standalone players

["Young, Jeff" <Jeff.Young@xxxxxxxx>]

Are you sure you want to make dual layer backups for your dvds ? The media
will be expensive for quite some time and the single layer disks are now
really cheap.  You will often find that buy the time you've removed all the
menus/extras/trailers etc you can fit the movies on a R5 ( single layer )
anyway..... Or slightly recompress ( dvdshrink ) by 10-15% with no loss of
quality.

I'm looking to buy a dual layer DVD writer for the main computer in the
loft. Is the dual layer (R9) standard the same as the dual layer found in
"normal" standalone DVD players ?

i.e. Can I take a load of home movies (or a backup of Pokemon III Movie *)
and slap them onto a dual layer disc and expect it to play in a =A330
woolies/asda special DVD player  ?.

* NOTE : It's not my Pokemon Movie.. it's my 5 year old nephews, who tends
to make DVD's into expensive teacup coasters by running matchbox cars over
the nice shiney surface...grumble grumble grumble....
