So I have some movies in .avi file format and use DVD Flick to put them to single layer DVD. I recently noticed that i had the option to put them in Dual Layer DVD+R and my question is if this will increase the quality of the final movie or the fact that the movie has been compressed into an .avi file make that a waste of a Dual Layer DVD+R. Thanks...
It would be a waste of a Dual Layer disc. I myself find Dual Layer a waste of money anyway (have never used one, never will), for any DVD out there that is bigger than a single layer, and is only to lose 90+% of video quality, i use DVD Shrink; any DVD under 90% i use the awesome DVD Rebuilder with HC Encoder.
Back to AVI files, i convert a lot of these to DVD, and even though i'm fussy where i get them, some of them are still a waste of a DVD; a better solution i find is to just watch the AVI, across the network on a old xbox

i lean towards shooting the avi from my pc to my hdtv nowadays, via cables, no converting or dvdrs used...
from my setup none of those options are a viable alternative and i need to burn to disk so i just really want to know if using a DL disk is a waste of money or has anyone seen better results from using a dual layer one vs using a single layer disk
