Answer :
It is correct to state that a disadvantage of using a DVD-R DL (dual layer) disc over an ordinary DVD is that a DVD-R DL has slower write speeds. (Option D)
What is a DVD-R DL (dual layer)?
A DVD-R DL (dual layer) disc is a type of DVD that has two layers of data storage on a single disc. It allows for more data to be stored on a single disc compared to a standard single-layer DVD-R disc.
The two layers on a DVD-R DL disc are separated by a thin, transparent layer and can store up to 8.5 GB of data, twice the amount of a standard DVD. DVD-R DL discs are commonly used for storing large amounts of data, such as high-definition video, and can be played on most DVD players that support dual layer discs.
However, the slower write speeds and compatibility issues with some DVD players may make DVD-R DL discs less suitable for some uses.

The correct option is 4.a dvd-r dl has slower write speeds. The main disadvantage of using a DVD-R DL disc over an ordinary DVD is its slower write speeds. This occurs because writing data across two layers takes more time than writing on a single layer.
Using a DVD-R DL (dual layer) disc has some disadvantages compared to an ordinary DVD. Among the options given:
- DVD-R DL having to skip across the disc to find the next track is not a specific disadvantage over an ordinary DVD.
- DVD-R DL not being backward-compatible with a regular DVD player may be true but is not the main disadvantage.
- DVD-R DL storing less data is incorrect as it actually stores more data than an ordinary DVD.
- DVD-R DL has slower write speeds because writing data across two layers takes more time compared to a single layer on an ordinary DVD.
- Other factors such as compatibility and storage capacity do not contribute as significantly to overall performance disadvantages.
- In conclusion, the slower write speeds of DVD-R DL discs are a significant disadvantage compared to ordinary DVDs.
- Therefore the correct option is 4.a dvd-r dl has slower write speeds.
