Is this possible?

Is it possible for a manufacturer to grab a DVD10 and make one side DVD-R and the other side DVD+R?

I don't understand the question since manufactured DVD discs are neither DVD-R nor DVD+R

If I understand you correctly, you want DVD-R on one side and DVD+R on the other -- from the manufacturer! Yes it's posible; but I doubt you'll ever see it.

Why bother? Most/All recent DVD players will either with no trouble; it's just the burning stage that matters. With prices falling, this seems moot to me.

I think the original poster wants to make a sort of 'master check/comparison disc' with DVD-R on one side and DVD+R on the other so you can test it out in various standalones (guessing here).

Most new players are +- but most people have players that are + or -, not both. Personally based on my own personal non-random observations DVD-R is more supported on standalones than DVD+R.

DVD-10 consist of two 0.6mm CD disks that have the reflective surface in the center. So basically it would be possible to have DVD-R on one and DVD+R on the other side.

But like Allan55 already mentioned it is unlikely to happen.

Both pressed discs and writeable discs are manufactured.

[FulciLives]

Well I guess I don't understand the question ???

[Cornucopia]

Why don't you just do the easy thing and get 1 regular disc of each kind, and put them in a 2-disc case?

Im just asking is it possible to take a DVD10 and have the dye on one side DVD-R and the dye on the other side DVD+R. It will be alot more handy than carrying 2 discs in a special case.

[Gil T Pleasure]

Why don't you just get a DVD-R and DVD+R discs and glue them together? :P

[gmatov]

Please! Don't start that one again.

[FulciLives]

Please! Don't start that one again.

LOL

I remember reading that thread too

Possible ?, yes. Will manufacturers of writable discs ever make them ?, almost certainly not.

The last time I looked at double sided recordable DVD media the price for one double sided DVD-R was more than two single sided DVD-R discs. So even if someone makes a double sided disc that is DVD-R on one side and DVD+R on another it will probably be cheaper to just buy two single sided discs ... one in DVD-R format and one in DVD+R format.

You can buy standard sized DVD cases that hold 2 DVD discs. They don't take up anymore room (outside dimensions) than a normal single disc DVD case.
