Any negatives to burning DVD's at highest quality

[Chuck Engels]

They just recently came out with DL DVD -R, before that there was only DL DVD +R. The +R DVDs will be just fine, that is the same thing that Hollywood uses for its DVDs. There is a difference in the burning process that makes Hollywood DVDs compatible with all DVD players, where as the DVDs the consumers burn are only compatible with about 80% of the DVD players.

You don't have to flip the disc over or anything, Premiere Elements will recognize the DL disc and burn the 2 hours at Max quality

So there would be a 20% chance that the DL +R will not run on a consumer DVD right. You know those relatives of ours that have the first DVD player that came out.

That is with all DVDs burned by consumer equipment and software, not just the dual layer kind. Hollywood has a very expensive process of Pressing DVDs, not burning, but they use the same type of DVD blanks that we do basically. Some DVD players just don't play burned DVDs well and some not at all, that's just the way it is. The newer the DVD player the better chance it will play them and it also seems like the cheaper players play them better than the expensive players.
