With the DVD-R dual layer norm validation last September, optical disc drives manufacturers in Taiwan should begin producing 4x DVD+/- R DL burners models in the first quarter 2005.

However, DigiTimes noticed that some of the current burners don’t integrates the compatibility with dual layer DVD+R, because of the media price and the additional production costs. So some manufacturers may not also include DVD-R DL support in their burner, even if we hope that the release of a competitor format may have an influence on prices.
