i have tried finding DVD+RW dual layer disks but i have only seen DVD+R dual layer, and i just want to know if the reason i cannot find DVD+RW dual layer disks because people think that putting in the extra W meaning rewritable not needed? or is it because there is no such thing as a dual layer re-writable dvd?
so i assume that since dvd-rw cant be dual layer then dvd+rw dual layer is not possible either. ahh well guess i just must get certain disks for certain tasks
"A dual-layer DVD+RW specification was approved in March 2006 with a capacity of 8.5 GB.[2] However, manufacturing support for rewritable dual-layer discs did not materialize due to cost and expected competition from newer formats such as Blu-ray, which provides up to 25 GB on a single layer." wiki
okay so now i get it. screw you blue ray lol. i wouldn't hate blue ray if my desktop came with a blue ray reader. i guess i am just going have to get another drive for it. nah
 
No. DVD-RW are only single layer. There aren't any dual layer DVD-RW.

Here's a suggestion why:
