DVD+R Double Layer backups ?

We recently started using DVD+R Double Layer discs for data backups with the PLEXTOR 716 DVD burner. Like the convenience of the 8.5 GB capacity, esp for large surround sound sessions. Both VerbatI'm and Memorex discs seem to work fine.

Using Toast... verifies fine... mounts fine on a Mac G4 . Basically using procedure to backup Pro Tools sessions and CD & DVD images.

Music Video DVD Levels

I am mixing a live concert video DVD for a band and I have a problem with where to head with the overall level. After years of mixing and mastering for CD, I am used to peaking close to 0dB Fs. After investigating levels on commercial DVDs, I find that they often only peak to around -12dB. Some music DVDs however, have really hot CD kind of levels.

printing CD's and DVD's

I would like to know something. I live here in Canada (Toronto) and I have 3 stores close to me where I by my printing and recroding stuff. Staples Business Depot, Futureshop and Long & Mcquade. I bought an Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer and bought CD-R printable CD's. And also the CD's (VerbatI'm - 50 pack) have a little logo in the middle where I can not print.
