How do I know if I can burn a dual layered dvd on my computer
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Perhaps ask 'the company' to show you how to do this.
Even if you are able to succeed in creating a double-layer disc, there are few DVD players that can play a double-layer DVD.
Not to be unkind, but you are trying to work with a technology that was already on the decline 10 years ago, and didn't work reliably even in its heyday.
How do I know if I can burn a dual layered dvd on my computer
If you have a CD burner that can burn a dual layer CD, then you can burn a dual layer CD.
However, burning CDs is a legacy technology. Hardly anyone does that any more, and particularly dual-layer CDs, since there are few industry standards for dual layer discs. Today, people use USB flash drives, which are much less expensive and virtually effortless.
Hi PattyWilliams2
Greetings! I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. You can use any of the tools recommended here. Look for the word DL when you run any tool where DL means Dual Layer.

I had old movies transferred to a DVD. The company said I would be able to make my own DVD copies. I uploaded the movie to my HP Windows 10 computer that I just purchased 3 weeks ago. My siblings are in their 70's and wouldn't know how to use a USB flash drive and they want to watch the dvd on their tv's. When I tried to burn DVD's my computer said the dvd's I had didn't have enough space to burn the movie. The movie is 8.07 GB, my blank dvd's are 4.7 GB and can play up to 2 hours. I am not sure how I'm going to be able to make DVD copies for my siblings.
