Robins2001 May 11, 2002, 01:23 PM Are these available yet?? If not when can we expect them and how much you reckon they will be? Could the existing DVD-RW drives be upgraded via firmware to write these? Kila_m May 11, 2002, 01:47 PM Nope not yet... and No Never. Kaizerboy May 11, 2002, 06:48 PM DVD 9 is 2 discs pressed together , these cannot be burnt , they have to be pressed together with a large machine so I doubt you'll ever see a DVD 9 burner. crichton May 12, 2002, 11:23 AM you can get double sided dvd-r (4.7gb each side ) that should work with rw drives. seen them at computer fairs, not tried them tho. Kila_m May 13, 2002, 11:10 AM Well DVD9 is known as single-sided dual layer.. so I assumed this is what was meant - these cant be burnt. Yes double-sided disks will work as they are 2 4.7gb disks stuck together but they arent known as DVD9.
