Double-sided, double-layer DVD media. Are the they the same thing?
I downloaded rar files for a movie, and I burned it to a 4.7mb disc. It burned just fine, didn't stop and tell me that the disc was too small or anything like that. But when I played it back and tried to access the extra features, the menu instructed me to flip the disc for the extras. I do know that a 4.7mb disc is single-sided and can't be flipped. Are the extras hiding somewhere or did they not burn because I used the wrong blank?
I looked at the info file that was downloaded, and, sure enough this is what I found under 'disc size':
"Disc Size: 4.34 + 4.84 Gb (one double-sided disc) - Exact untouched copy"
Everything else seems to be there, all the subtitles. Everything but the extra features.
So do I need double-layer media, which is available just about everywhere from Wal-Mart to Office Depot to Best Buy.
Or do I need double-sided media. I know it exists, because I've bought movies that had to be flipped to access extras, etc. But I've never seen it stores. Is this what is called DVD-10. And where do I find it?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

A dual layer disc has double the capacity of of a normal disc on one side. A double sided disc will have the capacity of a single disc on both the top and bottom of the disc.

if both images are in fact there, you could burn them on two separate DVD-5s. The images don't care if they're back to back or not

IIRC there also exists the even rarer DVD-17 - double-sided/dual layer

I have one purchased film that I recall was DVD-17 - Gettysburg. That sucker was good, but loooong. I have never seen DVD-17 recordable media for sale.
NB: If the americans on this board think DL disks are expensive, you ought to try buying them in this part of the world. Scarce as hens teeth, usually only available as singles or 10 disk spindles, and the pricing is insane. -
