JVC made DVD-RW DL but they never reached the market". So the easiest way is to just get a bunch of DVD-R DL double layer one time writable which are easily available and cheap.. or a BD-RE disk :-) On the other hand I found this on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-RAM) about DVD-RAM "Holds more data when using Double Sided discs than dual-layer DVD+RW and DVD-RW - 9.4GB for DVD-RAM vs 8.5GB for DVD+RW DL and DVD-RW DL". Does that mean optical disks were also double sided not only double layer? They had to be swapped by hand just like 5.25' floppies :D Also I just found and ordered to play around: BD-RE XL (100GB rewritable Sony disk ~17EUR no enclosure) and DVD-RAM (4.7GB Panasonic disk ~5EUR no enclosure).. lets see if my recorder firmware supports them and would it be possible to just mount DVD-RAM and read-write as standard disk but slow :-P --=20 CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
