- 1). Make sure your DVD burner has the ability to write data to dual-layer DVD discs. Though all DVD drives will be able to read these discs, it will take a special kind of drive to be able to burn them. Look for the "DL" logo on the front of your DVD burner to confirm yours is one of these drives.
- 2). Insert your dual-layer DVD+R disc into your computer's DVD drive. Make sure that the side of the disc that stores data is facing down, towards the floor.
- 3). Click "Play DVD Movie" from the "AutoPlay" wizard that appears on screen if your dual-layer DVD+R disc has a movie file on it. The movie will then open and begin to play using the default video playing program on your computer.
- 4). Select "Burn Files to Disc" if your dual-layer DVD+R is blank and you want to write data to it. The CD/DVD-burning wizard will then appear on screen, allowing you to fill your disc with content.
- 5). Select "Open Folder to View Files" if your dual-layer DVD+R has computer files on it that you'd like to access. The files will then be opened in a Windows Explorer browsing window.
