Yes, you can just check if your writer supports dual writer, If you have purchased recently or in last 2-4 years then it does IMO.

Dual Layer Moserbaer cost around 50-70 bucks... Here still it is very costly comparing to Dvd.. So use that only if you can not divide data in 2 DVd's like Movie Disc or games..If you can then better use Dvd which will be more VFM..

I wanted it to make a second disc of my gta4's disc 1, because it needs dvd to start the game.

Navneet, if you can read Dual layer DVD's nicely(eg- Digit DVD's) you can burn them on your own too :)

This is nice and simple way to explain. Good post techfreak.

But it doesn't look like the dvds of digit.

this is dual layer only..... the company is not branded so your dvd capacity might end on writing 8gb only.....

You could have used the image file for playing instead of burning it on to a DVD. That would have saved you 30 bucks :D.
