If i get it right, no it's not possible. Are they just data discs you want to burn? or video? what's the purpose?

No your (LG electronics) can't burn on duel layer DVD's only CD's and standard 4.7 GB dvd's...

Why? it appears your DVD writer only writes:
DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R, CD-RW
