Hi all
The Heading says it all? And if so- will I be able to use them on my Pioneer dvd 104 writer?
Thanks in advance

Forget it. Even if DVD-9 recordables ever appear (which is very unlikely, due to the technological hurdles), they definitely won`t be burnable on existing writers.

Yup agree Mike. Also, by the time it may have happened, blu-ray will be out offering greater space anyway..

Any updates on blu ray? I read about it ages ago and have heard no more since?

Sony have just released it in Japan,& its not cheap

Just read over the weekend somewhere that there bringing out double sided DVD-R disks (flippers)
If i find the link i`ll post it.

Double-sided DVD-Rs already exist (although they`re a little hard to find). They`re basically just 2 single-sided ones glued back to back; there`s no real advantage in using them.

{DV 347} **DOUBLE-SIDED** RITEK 9.4Gb DVD-R in tubs of 25

From the RITEK factory we can now offer you a 1x 9.4Gb DVD-R.This disc can hold 4.7Gb on each side.

Prompted by our customers enquiries we sourced a double sided disc that not only holds 9.4GB but is also of extreme high quality

These are in stock at the UK site i`m looking at but are £62.24 per 25 plus a couple of quid postage, so thats around £2.60 per disk.
