yes and no.

It all depends on the brand.

layered yes, i just typed the one on my TDK blank disc.
So i have to choose single layered media even im using a brand like verbatim. That's just not good for me.

No, you dont have to choose anything.

Verbatim branded DL media is far better than any other Double Layered media you will encounter. You just need to make sure your drive can handle it.

You can use "double sided" DVD-RAM discs. They can store 9GB onto one disc too, if that's what you need (and are very reliable).

Yes. I have not experienced performance changes based on location only.
However, the spoiled NA guys don't get MII Verbs, which may be why they have the better Verbies.

Translation: The North American guys don't get Verbatim media manufactured in India (considered by many to be more variable in quality) which may be why they (the North Americans) have better Verbatim media (manufactured in Taiwan and considered by many to be less variable in quality).

TY's own brand should be an excellent choice if you can get it!

thanks thats understandable but if MII verbatim is considered to be more variable in quality why is MIT(?) verbatim better?

Because the MIT Verbies overall are, while not always better, at least safer.

What I meant to say is that MIT Verbies (especially the CMC MIT Verbies) have a consistant quality, so they are a "safe buy"™. MII Verbies may outperform the MIT Verbies, but may also be worse, depending on the particular batch.
