[G4] Can I burn and copy a DVD+R disk onto a DVD-R disk?

[SKYGRAM]

Aaron,

I meant dual-layer! I was very tried when I wrote that last post.

Yes, it is a good price for dual-layer disks that is if you can find
them when they are on sale. I am talking about stores like Best Buy
and Future Shop.

I didn't realize that I was replying only to your address.

Thanks again,

Bill
