DVD Dual Layer and DVD Rewritable

DL drives first entered the market during mid 2004, at prices comparable to those of existing single-layer drives. However, currently blank dual layer media is up to twice as expensive as single-layer media. The latest Dual Layer drives  or in short DL Drives  write double layer discs at a slower rate up to 10× than current single-layer disks up to 16×.A dual-layer disc has two layers of data, one of them semi-transparent so that the laser can focus through it and read the second layer. Since both layers are read from the same side, a dual-layer disc can hold almost twice as much as a single-layer disc, typically 4 hours of video. Many discs use dual layers. Initially only a few replication plants could make dual-layer discs, but most plants now have the capability.
