Dual Layer media. They probably only hold about 8.5 gigs of data.
You have to have a dual layer DVD-RW drive to burn these.
I get the verbatim data life plus +2.4x DL media at Office depot for about $3.50 when they go on sale.
You may want to try Rima.com/supermediastore.com/meritline.com/meritline.com
They may be a little cheaper than $3.50 each.

what is the model number and make of that cd/dvd combo drive...i'll look it up for you to accurately answer your question, for the "combo drives" that i have seen, most of them are cd-burners/dvd-rom players and are NOT capable of burning dvds whether it be DVD-5 or dvd-9~ :)
you gotta have the right hardware before we can begin this dvd burning journey~ :)
let us know the make and model of your drive and then we will be off to a good start~ :)

i just bought it recently and havent had the need to open her up. but all i know is that it comes factory. so far iv been able to burn dvd's from different regions, such as thai dvd's and chinese. I have an HP model number A1110N. im not sure how much that will help since i havent the need to open it up yet.

I'm still not sure about the model # in your HP 1110n.
I've got the HP 1118x-b and it came with the HP 640c lightscribe. It is dual layer,but it wasn't near the burner that my benq 1620 is,so it is now just laying in a box. I believe it was dual layer.It was only in for a week before I swapped it out.

sorry, i too am not familiar with the drives that come on HP machines, never had one...well, at least we determined that it CAN burn dvds as you have stated that you were able to do them in the past...hmmm....i'll keep digging~ :)

saugmon is the ONLY person i know that has it and used it before, i guess it's NOT a good drive as he had stated he swapped it out for another Benq model shortly after producing a coaster on it~ Lightscribe drives need to come a LONG way before i will consider purchasing one, personally~ :)
im sure when saugmon responds, he can be more detailed in his explanation~ :) he's the one with the actual drive in question...
