So, I made an experiment on running PS3 game backups on DVD-R dual layer. I have some of DVD-R DL discs that are kept inside my drawer and these DVD-R DL discs were bought from ebay and imported from Japan years ago. Apparently, HEN exploit allows user to run burned PS3 game backups directly without needing to install additional exploit PKG file like discPKG that had been done for years. There are many steps needed to be taken in order to run the DVD-burned PS3 game backups although PS3 game backup ISOs are not optimized for DVD dual-layer and pretty hard to make PS3 trying to replicate what Xbox 360 does with its DVD-format game disc entirely.

I'm using GT5 Prologue game as an example and the first step is dump the game from its original game disc into JB folder format. Then, convert the JB folder format into ISO file back via PS3 ISO Tools v2.2 and burned the ISO file with IMGBurn. Everything seems ok when HEN exploit detects the DVD-burned PS3 game backups as game disc and launched successfully, except one thing - slow ass game data installation where it took much longer than running on original BD-ROM game disc but managed to finished up the game data installation with successfully. I'm also testing other games such as GRID 2 and certain games that boots up directly such as NFS Hot Pursuit (2010) but the results were pretty different.

Running GRID 2 on DVD will ended up being stuck at 40% while hearing the laser head clicking noise meanwhile running NFS Hot Pursuit (2010) on DVD will ended up pretty sluggish, maybe because my DVD burner is not fast enough to burn the ISO file or something else. During the experiment, I'm using DVD-R Dual-layer, not the DVD+R Dual Layer, there's a much differences on these 2 DVD formats. However, you can try it with DVD+R Dual-Layer and before burning, make sure that the PS3 game ISO does not exceeds 8.5GB and delete existing game data first before running it. Also, please note that not all PS3 games that can be run from DVD-R discs.
