Nevermind, I see they're using the JVC name now.

Thanks for the link!

DVDs remain a HUGE PROBLEM with write-them-yourself items.
Also, do it yourself DVDs have a shelf life limited to 3-5 years!

Yep, double the size in regular DVD-R. Also, not all drives can read
them.

Ah, I didn't recognize the label: I have a DL story: the first 5 chapters
of a DVD played fine, but #6 barfed. Owner sent it back and received a
replacement. It had the same problem! Tried to play on another player
and it was AOK. Original player was as you have already guessed single layer,
and the second player was DL - able.

It turns out that certain burn software (I'm not naming names) for DL calculates
how much space it will need and burns chapters on single layer, then it switches to
double layer! I presume the intent of the algorithm is to keep the DL part as much
on the longer portion (outer edge) of the disk.

Interesting. Yeah, that sounds about right. DLs aren't popular from what
I have seen or heard. I was going to get DL discs, but heard
compatiblity problems so I said forget it. I already had enough with
DVD with their + and - and RWs. Ugh!

Not true at all. I have plenty of old 1x DVD-Rs from 2003 that are still working fine after 8 years.
Why are u saying otherwise?

What he says is true for some or even many writeable DVDs, but it's not
a universal truth.
