Whoa didn't think they existed but I knew of them. They hold more than dual layer 1 sided (dvd-9) disc, .4 gigs more! And all you have to do is flip the disc huh? So it saves space but still have to flip it . Hmm dual layer one sided (DVD-9) burners and media will be out in April of 2004, sources say! So then we won't have to flip or chnage to disc 2 and wont have to compress nothing!

Of course they exist. Didn't you do a search or click on the link?

Yeah i clicked the link, I would get them but they are only 1x...take forever to do 9.4 gigs worth. I went to the JVC factory and saw how dvds were made..and all the different kinds..was neat hehe!

The DVD of the movie Starman is a double sided disc. On this disc....one side is full screen and the other is wide screen. That is the only one I own that is double sided so far.

Yeah I have Blade runner and that is like that. How do you get rid of the full screen version because I have around 2-3 dvds that are 1 sided dual layer and they come with widescreen and fullscreen. In DVDshrink isee under main movie...TITLE 1 and TITLE 2..are those it? How do you tell which is full and which is wide? I don't know how to use DVD shrink to delete something. Do I need another program? Or is the TITLE 1 and TITLE 2 just where you go from layer 1 to layer 2 and is full and wide screen not separate things, the dvd just takes the wide screen and stretches it?

Thanks

to find out which is which just click on 1 and at the bottom right click play, start watchin it and find out which it is. to just keep 1 of them then click reauthor at the top and then drag the title u want to keep(widescreen or fullscreen)into the new box that came up.
