Can Dual-Layer DVD+R discs be used in regular DVD±RW drives?

In other words, do I need a special drive to record onto dual-layer discs?

Mr Hope,
To burn data to a dual layer DVD you must have a Dual Layer DVD burner. Far as I know.

Almost all newer (even a few years old) DVD±RW drives support Dual Layer burning.

What model drive do you have I can tell you right away....You can use CDspeed (free) Nero CD-DVD Speed website or Nero Info Tool (comes with Nero)
