dvd media types confustion

I have two questions that I would like to ask in this forum. I am not sure if this is the right forum though.

I would like to know if the DVD burners on the market today can actually burn a DVD-9 DVD(Single Sided-Double Layer SS-DL) like the media used that produce DVD's that we rent and buy.

Can these DVD-9's be sold to the general public? Or are they solely for the movie industries use?

Anyone who can shed some light here, would greatly help me out.

thanks

In answer to your first question, no. Current DVD burners are limited to DVD-5s.

As far as your second question goes, I presume you mean blank DVD-9s? I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the industry creates DVD-9s using a special process of combing two layers of DVD-5s or something to that effect. So, basically, I don't think there are any blank DVD-9s, period.

??

A DVD-9 is just two DVD-5 discs glued together. The DVD layer justs readjusts itself to read the seconc layer. There are no 9 GB DVD -/+ R discs, tho you can get doubled sided, with 4.7 on each side.
