Will it benefit me to switch to dual layer disc?

Question

I burn with shrink and was wondering it a dual layer disc would make any difference with quality or compression size? Does it matter if i switch or should I just use the regular 4.8gb disc?

Answer 1

You can indeed put more on one disk by using dual-layer drives. Don't know if you are burning disks for yourself or what, but if you are creating the disks for others, just remember that dual-layer drives are not that common yet so others may not be able to use your disks.

Answer 2

Most DVDs released are dual layer, so you can archive your movies without compressing them. Alternately you can compress two DVDs into one dual layer one.
