    DVDs above 4.7GBs

    I have a DVD that I am trying to copy that is 5.3GBs and I can only find DVDs that are 4.7GBs.  Where can I buy larger DVDs?

    Well I need to buy a DVD burner because the one I have now is not one. Here it what I was looking at. Will this work for dual layers?

     Can all DVD drives and DVD players read dual layer DVDs?

    Yes, that linked burner burns DVD DLs.

    I believe so.

    Movie?  Just wondering, DVD Shrink might come in handy.

    DVD Shrink is a great solution for movies. I use it daily, haha. 

     

    But to the OP, you need to be careful with dual layer DVDs. Not only are they expensive, but a lot of times  DVD players (if the disks are movies) have trouble playing them.
