Definition: DVD-R DL is a record-once format that is identical to DVD-R, except that it has two layers on the same side of the DVD. This allows twice the recording time capacity on a single side. This format is being incorporated slowly on some newer DVD Recorders.
Although the actual recording format is the same as DVD-R, the physical difference between a standard DVD-R disc and a DVD-R DL disc may result in less playback compatibility on some DVD players that normally have the ability to play standard single layer DVD-R discs.
Pronunciation: DVD Dash R Dual Layer
Also Known As: DVD-R Dual Layer, DVD-R Double Layer, DVD Recordable Dual Layer
