I wonder if any manufacturers will release firmwares to allow current +R DL drives to write -R DL discs. Im hoping BenQ do it for their 1620PRO drive.

Plextor for their PX-716 offers a fw that enables writting of DVD-R DL at 2x. regards, Stephen

If discs are only in testing, why, and how are drives available that can write to DVD-R DL? What happens if testing proves that a change needs to be made? What will happen to writers currently available? Hope any changes that might be made can be applied by a FW update.
