Re: DVD-Video compatibility

To Roadkill:

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Sorry I was not clear. Let me try this another way.

My intent is to transfer personal videos to DVD, and also to record off the air HDTV broadcasts for playback via my DVD player. For HDTV, I need a lot of storage capacity.

My DVD player is a Toshiba, which uses the DVD-R format

The only dual layer drive available today is DVD+R.

So:
1. I'm assuming from your earlier post that if I create a DVD-Video and burn it using DVD-ROM format, that it should play in my DVD-R player. Am I correct?
2. Will I get the benefit of dual layer capacity if I record in DVD-ROM?

Thanks
