Anyone ever tried this kind of media in an Xbox?

i had a thread like this a while ago on the same thing. whoever replied said it should work fine. i have one of those discs sitting right here, but ive never tried it. it should work the same as any dvd, just double-sided. they are kinda expensive though. id just stick with the normal ones. and since they are double sided, no place for a label or anything!
I WAN'T DUAL LAYER DVD-R MEDIA!
I don't think any of the current burners would be able to handle dual layer media even it if were available.
Yeah , I think most burners are able to read dual layer, but are not able to burn dual layer.
are dual layer discs even coming any time soon? and if it can read it, shouldnt it be able to write it?

No, and No.
Trust me, I'll bet $100 U.S. that the movie industry is behind the 4.7gb size limit that we have seen so far on most discs. I don't trust those bastards at all. Just paranoid!

No this is not the case. Many drive manufacturers (fortunately for us) love to buck the movie industry. Case in point Phillips, etc.
The problem with the 4.7 limit is inherent in the original design however. The movie industry did have a hand in that....
The dual layer writing technology is more complex, requiring extremely precise depth focusing of the burning laser, multiple colored lasers, and media which is dual COLOR!
You will see it at some point, I'll bet. Like hard drives, the manufacturing and registration techniques "evolve".
the 4.37 gb dvdr(rw) that are available everywhere are single layer dvd-5 and the dual layer is dvd-9 and its pressed not burns. even if have a blank dual layer dvdr ..you wouldnt able to burn it at all....its like two dvd-5 pressed on top of each other
