Double-sided DVD's!

Am I the only one who didnt know you could nor that they made these? I bought Phone Booth recently and opened it to be greeted by a double sided DVD, one side was full screen and the other was for wide screen. Out of the 200 movies I own I have never seen this, until I purchased this. I thought it was pretty cool! So am I just out of the loop or I am not the only one?

You might just be the only one Swagga, but who knows. I haven't seen many of them but I've owned a few in the past.GrandJury

My copy of the matrix trilogy is on double sided dvd's. That was the first time I had seen a double sided disk and that was not that long ago.

Well I just thought DVD's are compact disks also... but I dont have the fantist clue.

Same difference i guess, but double sides are for movies not music...........unless there are double-sided CDs?? :o That would be crazy! X360PS3AMD05

CD's are so cheap to make, that it's super rare to see these. Bands like to have their logo/art on one side of the CD. I too have a few double sided DVD's. Superman 1-4 on 2 DVD's for $10 comes to mind.

Never heard of double-sided CDs until I read this :|

It's old, Daft Punk's D.A.F.T. DVD is double-sided and it was released in late 1999

I have a bunch of movies on double sided DVDs and have had them for quite some time. It is great depending on what you watch them on. It fills the screen either way.

One of my first DVD was double sided Jackie Chan movie, too bad it's so easily scartched.

yeah casino, money talks, midnight express all have double sides that i bought,,,, shows full screen on one side widescreen on another or special features on one side movie on another

▲ Ugh I hate those things. So flimsy and cheap. ▲

I'm sure there are others who didn't know. For me, I've known for quite some time. A few of my dvds are double-sided.

I have gobs of them. Tons of stuff released back during DVDs inception were dual sided/single layer discs. They phased them out in favor of single sided/dual layer discs which im going to assume were cheaper to produce after they started being heavily used.

Also what the above mentioned. Original DVD players as a majority were made with single layer discs in mind and either had trouble playing new DLs or could not play them at all so they would accomplish the same thing by putting 1 layer on each side.
