A 4.7 GB DVD (single layer) is fine. You don't need a dual-layer DVD-9.

Tom Lake

That's right - anything *above* 4.7GB needs to be virtually mounted or burnt
using a dual layer drive.

And don't forget - everyone on this newsgroup deserves praise ) everyone
learns something new, including me! That's why I love this community so
much - constantly learning and providing help to others )

Guess this is time to consider moving from my Microsoft career into teaching
like I originally planned! )
