DVD Burners, Dual Layer, and Linux

I'm thinking of getting a dual layer burner, probably the NEC ND-2510A.

I take it that burning DVD+/-R (or R/W) is not much of an issue with Linux? If it is, do let me know.

What I'm really curious about is dual layer burning support - has it been done in Linux?

(Any reasons not to buy the drive, or suggestions for alternatives?)

Thanks,

thats a good question... wish i had thought of it before i jumped the gun....

ive been looking for dual layering burning, but i havent found anything yet... but then again, im moving real slow...(yay dialup

)

but from what i can tell ive got support for the +-RW and CD-RW for it... which is a step up from windows... i couldnt even burn anything without installing the software that came w/ it first... windows update didnt even have any.... score one for the underdog :twisted:

Currently I'm using a NEC 2500a DVD burner with Herries modded DualLayer firmware...
Works fine to burn single layer discs in k3b.
Sadly i have no duallayer media (to damn expensive

)
If i can get hold on dual layer media for a resnoable price ill report here.
