Dual layer disks cost as low as Rs.75 for some cheap media. For quality media it will be much higher more than Rs.350, better option will be going for normal DVDs.
I dont know if there is any online store selling Dual layer DVDs. Some sites sell it in 5 or 10 disk packs. But availability in India is very limited. Check if it is available in any indian sites.

I agree , But even though it is not available I am heard of unbranded Dual layer DVDs priced as low as this. How ever I get unbranded single layer DVD media for Rs.18. But Sony is the good choice when reliability matters. Amkette is another good one.

So I edited it I dont want to argue since I read it in some magazine, I dont know whether it is available in India. I too am looking for it. Dual layer writers are common now but the dual layer media is not so, it is really bad. As of now we can insist on single layer media.

It's still costly.. only yesterday I went to hardware shop here; and found out it's still rs. rs. 550 with jewel box. Unbranded is rs. 75, but we might end up with coasters in case it's written above 4X :D

We Indians are always so late in technology. We can expect the next generation HD DVD or BlueRay or its hybrid after 5 or 6 years of its release.

Hmm.. we can write for 4X but anything above 4X will give you coaster for sure :p

I have burned at 8X also dude, and that disk costed 15rs. Moserbaer (with Jewel box) one for 35rs can be burned at 16X :D

I have asked for a DVD-DL at several shops in Kolkata. They have told me that it is not yet available here. So far I have purchased some DVD+R, -R (all 8x and jewel cased) and DVD-RW 2x. Well, if you ask about CDs, high speed CD-RW (24x) is available, but not high speed DVDs due to high price.

I don't think Dual layer DVD media is available in the market. It will acc. to me take atleast one year for a widespread of media.
I use single layer Nex-Gen or Techom media both priced Rs.15.
Techom has a drawback as it only supports 4x writing.Nex-gen is great no read problems after writing and the biggest advantage is that it allows smooth 8x burning.It takes around 6-8 min to write 4.37 GB of data.

I'm still waiting for dual layer media.I've asked my mamoo to bring it when he comes to india.I think it is easily available in the US.I'm still searching for some contacts in Dubai.I've heard its a paradise, if you need DVD's or electronic gadgets.

Hey the new Moser Bear OEM ones by edgetec are now 8X using fujifilm media codes rs25. I seen Sony branded 8X jewel for rs60 too. TDK 4X RW for rs120. So prices have dropped 50% or so in the last year.
