I received a dual layer DVD from a photographer today for the first time, with
c. 6.5 GB of images on it. I've been trying to copy files off this sucker --I've
got a MacPro with two optical drives here at work, so I have the appropriate
hardware to read it. I've been getting numerous read errors--I've gotten most of the
files off this disk, but many are apparently unreadable.
For all I know the photographer didn't verify his write to this DL-DVD (bad boy!),
but the dual layer factor makes me uneasy. Have people here had good
experiences with dual layer media, e.g. found them to be as reliable as single
layer media?
