∫ About DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) disc
DVD-R DL (Dual Layer) discs have two layers of
recording/playback surface on one side.
If the first layer (L0) becomes full during
recording, the recording continues uninterrupted
on the second layer (L1). However, the recording
is divided into 2 scenes at the point where the
layers switch. This unit automatically switches
layers during disc playback so you can play the
whole of the disc continuously like a normal disc.
However, the picture or the sound momentarily
stops at the point where the layers switch.
