He just means it's not the quality of a DVD 5 (single layer), which you and I can agree is potentially less than that of a DVD 9 (dual layer). Two DVD 10s can have a (slightly) higher bit rate, but then you are swapping discs. It's an individual choice as to which trade-off you want: higher compression, or no disc swaps. Then we get into DVD changers to solve that and.....ugh.

It just goes on and on.

So, are there any "compatibility lists" for dual-layered media and stand-alone players yet? Hell, I've not even seen ads for the media, even though the burners are all over the place. What is the average price?

I've also seen one or two firmware updates for some existing burners to make them dual-layer capable. I'll have to find that thread again.
