You're going to need to provide proof now. Saying the same thing over and over doesn't make it true.

think about it!

a single layer is cheaper to produce than a DL- no matter which format but if you want proof i will dig it up for you

 

What about posting the royalties involve in using both products, everyone already trust you on the fact its cheaper to produce a single layer disc.

royalities are based on a few criteria and that depend's on a company by company basis.

as an example I will use Google as an example:

to development studio's outside of Google to get published on the android smartphone you have to pay 30% to google

you have upto 70% but that does not include support , nor the return of sais software for refund to the consumer. etc.

for disc's based here is an example taken march of last year:

The fees for the new product licenses are US$9.50 for a Blu-ray Disc player and US$14.00 for a Blu-ray Disc recorder. The per disc license fees for Blu-ray will be US$0.11 for a read only disc, US$0.12 for a recordable disc and US$0.15 for a rewritable disc. As a result of the efficiencies obtained with the combined license offering, the royalty rates for Blu-ray products are expected to be at least 40% lower than the current cumulative royalty rates for individual Blu-ray, DVD and CD format licenses.

Very good read, what about royalties involve with a dvd disc? Because what I underline doesnt explain much their calculation.
