[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 2751374, member: 4779"] Yeah, the discs aren't cheap but probably worth it for what you are suggesting. As far as practicality, it is also a good, safe call. Most big DVD releases (Spiderman comes quickest to mind) are dual layered because the video and sound quality has to be so high. You can easily tell a dual-layer disc because somewhere near the middle there will be what appears to be a minor skip (on most players). This is the player switching to the bottom layer to read the info there. If you are looking for the cheapest way, just burn it onto two or bring the compression level down so it fit on one disc. But dual-layer should work just fine. Last time I checked the 3-packs were going for $25. Looks like they won't be really affordable for another 6+ months. :( I really want to back up a bunch of my more-watched and rare DVDs but it's not cost effective right now. [/QUOTE]
