I have been burning DVDs but am unable to burn double sided) DVDs. Where can I get two-sided DVDs (ones you can burn on both sides) if they are available. What is the best way to acquire software which will allow me to burn double sided DVDs? Is there free software or must I buy it?

Dual-layer burners have been out for a few months now... it's the media that might be a little scarce.

correct me if im wrong, but a double sided dvd is just two dvds on top of another. you dont burn to both sides at the same time, you take it out and flip it over. if you do mean double layer the burners are available and cheap but the media is very expensive and probly always will be. there will be a new standard soon that will make the current standard obsolete.

this is my boomstick!

no, dual layer is two layers, that you DONT flip. dual SIDED is single layer on each side of the disc that you have to flip. i think theres also dual layer dual sided wich is dual layer on both sides of the disc.

this is my boomstick!
