1. Re: double sided DVDs option
Giorgio1957 Mar 30, 2011 10:18 AM (in response to Jgerard1)Hi John,
In the "build table" you can choose:
-DVD or Bluray
-Direct burn DVD or Write a folder or Image (these last two allows you to save discs in case something should go wrong).
When you have done it, at the bottom, you can choose a standard DVD 4,7Gb, or a double sided DVD 8,5 Gb or a "custom dvd" where the space is up to you.
At this point you have two choices:
Let Encore do everything: in this case En will decide when the switch from the first side to the second one will be made.
You decide the switch point, chosen possibly in the middle of the movie or in a point that prevent an huge data in one side only.
Concerning your question I think there is a difference between layer and side.
Double sided discs are "pretty old" devices where two different sequences are recorded in a separate way.
Double layer disc are the common DVD sold today.
Both dual-layer and double-sided DVDs use the same technology to record and reproduce data. A laser creates tiny pits on the disc's reflective surface. During playback, the laser shines into the pits and a small optical sensor records the position of the pits based on when the laser reflects off the remaining reflective surface. Dual-layer DVDs have a semitransparent bottom layer and the DVD player's reading laser can focus on either layer to read data.
Hope this help
Ciao
Giorgio

Giorgio1957 Mar 31, 2011 7:07 AM (in response to Jgerard1)Sorry John,
I'm bit confused.
Why have you just copy-pasted my answer?
Have you add anything that I do not see?
Anyway I've seen something: I wrote "Double sided" instead of double-layer when I spoke about the "Build Tab"
Sorry for the mistake.
Ciao
