Hi All, Actually, there are more DL-burners out thier than you think. As mentioned most should be able to read DL-DVDs. One thought though: If somebody is willing to download the 8 GB whether DL or two DVDs I do not think they will burn it. At least I have not burned the images I have. I have the images on my drive and just mount it when I need it. No fuss with having to carry a DVD along. It is also, possible to put the image or its content on a USB-stick. Second, if the users can burn a DVD they could divide it themselves. With a carefully crafted index.html and a little javascript magic one could easily divide the content among two DVDs. All they need to do edit the index.html in one place for the two DVDs. Another approach would be to use two directories for the content containing say DVD1 and DVD2. Then if somebody has a DL-burner s/he can you that and who only can burn single layer can do that. I see no big problem using DL-images. Then again I maybe to savvy. Personally I would prefer an image with all the PG-content zipped. I use to ftp the PG directories. But, at one point the guys at the unversity ask to me to take it easy because one day I had effectively used almost all bandwidth by using "get -r *.*". That was a long time ago, maybe I should try that again. All aside, I would suggest using the second model containing directories, this way in another couple of years we can use the same model for even larger images and we do not need to bother with what type of burner the user has whether it be single, DL or even Blue-ray, or whatever might appear. regards Keith.
