All DVD’s are comprised of two 0.6 millimeter discs bonded together. The main difference between the various formats is their data storage capacity. A DVD 5 holds 4.7 gigabytes of data and is a single layer, single sided disc. A DVD 9 holds 8.5 gigabytes of data and is a dual layer, single sided disc. Both DVD 5 and DVD 9 allow the customer to print a full side disc label. A DVD 10 holds 9.4 gigabytes of data and is a single layer, dual sided disc. This format only allows a small ring to be printed on both sides of the disc.
