Double Sided 9,6 Gb DVD-R

[sebasman]

Just one maybe-very-silly question: I've been able to copy DVDs to 2 DVD-R and, in other cases, to strip the extras so they can fit on 1 DVD-R

But i've seen in some US on-line stores that are already selling 9,6 Gb double sided DVD-R.

My question is: are these DVD-R equal to the ones comercial DVDs are recorded?, so we could make 1:1 copies with DVD Decrypter or we must handle these DVD-R as if they were in practice 2 DVD-R?

And if they aren't, WHY? Why can't we have DVD-R just like the comercial ones?

9,6 Gb double sides are in fact 4,7 each face... so nothing new.

and why there are no 9,4 DVD+-R ? becoz there is no burner !

Original DVD are not burned but pressed, exactly like audio cd , console games etc...

Thanx Klona! (I wasn't happy with the answer but... it's life!)

Do anyone knows if there are plans to release such burners?
