My hard drive crashed. Again.

Anyway, I'm out to BB soon to buy a new HDD and possibly a DVD burner so I can make an image of my drive (only have a CD-RW now) next time it happens.

But of course, I'd also like to be able to playback DVD+R DL discs on my Panasonic RP82. I looked on DVDRHelp.com, but it doesn't seem anyone has even TRIED playing back DVD+R DLs on the RP82.

Has anyone tried DVD+R DL playback on their Panny RP82, or even XP30/XP50 for that matter? What was your experience?

The new DVD+R dual-layer discs are still so new and expensive I doubt anyone is really using them yet, they are very hard to find too.

DVD+R DL at ~$15 a pop right now....I can wait.

Prob by the time the price drop enuf to make DL viable....Blu-ray would be out. Then the $/value starts all over again.

Sorry not an answer for if RP82+DL will work

Yeah $15 for a DL that can only record at 2.4x compared to two x8 DVD+Rs for 50cents each!

Yeah thats a 10pack for $21 that includes only one DL disc. So its probably $15 for the DL disc plus $6 for the other 9 discs - and thats overpriced! For well under $20 I can get a 25pack of DVD+RWs.
