Why do people get dual layer disks ??

to store more data, or to use less compression if needed

Bit like asking why people get bigger hard discs, space!

The EMTEC brand was formerly known as BASF in the UK, and many people will remember the brand as having been a market leader for many years in VHS and audio cassettes.

That's all very well, but unfortunately the quality of the disk is down to who actually manufactured it - which bears no relation to the company name printed on the label.

According to https://www.cdr-zone.com Emtec DVD-R's are class as-

"Recommended media :

Will record at its rated speed with error levels within set specifications but there may be a small variance in quality from disc to disc occasionally. This is normally media that doesn't have a premium price tag ( but not always ) but has prooved itself good enough time after time. They quite often offer money back or replacements but not always.

Some brands listed here may use different companies to produce their media which only exaggerates media variance for the end user. You will also find that not every writer as optimised support but on writers that support the media well you will have very good results. Usuallys offer the end user a great balance of Price Vs Media Quality.

This was the hardest catergory for me. Alot of the media mentioned here can be as good as the Premium stuff if the recording device supports it properly in the firmware. You can see some big names in here as well like TDK, HP and Philips. They feel their name warrants a Premium rating but it takes some to get one here at zone! There is no shame in being placed here and you still have many happy hours of recording pleasure but the error levels will be slightly higher than the premium stuff consistently."

Dual layer is the format used by pressed-DVDs (i.e. prerecorded movies). So you could say that anyone inclined to make a perfect copy of a DVD might want to use one of these.

Aside from that, they give you 8.5Gb storage vs. 4.7Gb.
