Like you, I have been watching dual layer DVDs, but the price is still quite high. Shop4tech.com has them for $2.50. It doesn't make sense considering that one single layer DVD costs just $0.26.
It's not about simple production costs; it's about the value of producing in quantity. Everyone and their brother have single layer DVD drives, so the media is produced in the billions. Dual layer drives are much rarer, so the media isn't mass-produced in the same quantities. However, looking at shop4tech.com, I'm seeing several offers of dual layer DVDs at ~$1.00 a DVD; are those not suitable for us for some reason? -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
