are there any blank dvds available to burn larger than 4.7GB?

i have a macbook pro, with whatever drive type is given to it

mac os x, i dvd 6.

im not interested in a double sided cd or quality loss, so it looks like i will have to remove some footage for space...its unfortunate that no one anywhere supplies dvds with a higher capacity than 4.7GB?

is a double layered dvd the same as a double "sided" dvd? or does it play on one side?

i see it holds up to 8.5GB which is great and what im looking for

if it play on one side of the disc thatd be great..

is a dual layered dvd-r something that can be played in most dvd players? or all dvd players?

and would i be able to record my i dvd project onto that?

thanks

ha ohhh thats great its single sided! yea i have about 6 something GB in my project and just wanted to burn everything on one single sided dvd

i dont know where to go to check my superdrives ability. i think my laptop would probabl b able to handle it because i just bougt a mac book pro a few months ago (the one that came with extra ram and stuff)

i still want to make sure though that it can handle it before i purchase the dvds.

so idvd will be able to burn this?

and dual layered dvds can be played on most dvd players?

thanks

My iDVD Project is 115.55 Minutes Long

It says that the DVD capasity is 6.2 GB of 4.2 (So that went overboard)

and only 32 tracks used with plenty to spare


So would you suggest me getting the DL DVD+R discs for my project?

I was thinking of getting the Verbatim brand, I heard they have the best dl dvds, and some other brands have problems. I was checking out this site:

http://www.burnsmart.com/ver95310.html

I will probably go to a best buy or a store similar to that to pick up 50 or 100 (Im making many copies of my dvd project)

What do you think?

Thankyou

Well my project is 115 minutes long.

Under project info it says 6.2 GB of 4.2GB (With a full red bar)

Every time i open the project theres a message that pops up saying:

"Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window to Best Quality."

i am looking fora full dvd quality without taking away any quality to the picture or making it run weird.

do you think i can pull of using regular 4.7 GB disc? i mean it says 6.2 of 4.2GB in project info.
what should i do?

thanks
