Dual-Layer DVD Burners Start to Catch On

AFTER a shaky start, double-layer DVD burners are finally hitting the 
market in large numbers, but it may be a while before consumers 
choose to make use of their full talents.

Double-layer DVD's provide nearly twice the space for data and are 
already the industry standard for manufactured DVD movies. Invisible 
to the eye, the two layers are made possible by a DVD player's highly 
focused laser, which reads out to the edge of one layer, then 
refocuses to read back from the edge of the next layer.

toward the end. This is the "layer break," the moment when the 
player's laser makes the jump.
