It might just be a good old fashion dual layer dvd which is created by pressing to discs and glueing them together. These are also known as dvd 9 and most of the movies ship on them.

More information that you'll ever want to know about dual-layer discs is available from The Official DVD FAQ. The link is in Doom9's DVD Basics section.

That was very helpful information. So then its probably a dual layer dvd. i'll just store the data on the hard disk then.

A single layer dvd (dvd 5) is created by pressing a disc and attaching it to a another piece of plastic (yes, even a single layer dvd has two layers (or at least it should have)). This makes the dvds more fault tolerant (they don't bend as much as cds). [(This is not true)It is also required because the data on dvds is written in smaller "font" as on a regular cd and a scrach on the disc hurts many more bytes than on a cd.(but the error correction is better)] A dual layer dvd (dvd 9) is done by storing information on the both layers and then putting them together. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
