    No.

    I have

    DVD5 (Single-Layer, Single Sided) - usually movie only or budget releases

    DVD9 (Dual-Layer, Single Sided) - you are familiar with this one

    DVD10 (Single-Layer, Double-sided) - Sometimes known as a flipper. May contain half a movie on side a and the rest on side b. My version of The Exorcist has the movie on side A and the extras on side B.

    DVD18 (Dual-Layer, Double-sided) - All in one disk. Superman sepcial edition and MiB special edition both had releases in this format. Think a double disk special edition release on a single disk. Dual layer movie on one side, mega extras on the other (or, as in MiB, 16:9 on one side, and butchered on the other)
