Hi,

does anybody know if there are DVDs available where I can put 13 GB or more on? I only heard of discs with a capacity of 9 GB, but I would have to use both sides.

Thanks,
Alban

Industrial DVDs can have up to 17 GB (approximately 9 GB per side). Recordable DVDs are limited to 4.7 (actually 4.3Cool GB per side. There are discs with bigger capacity, but you need a different kind of recorder and they're not compatible with normal DVD players or drives.

In 2 or 3 years there will probably be standard 20-GB recordable discs, but so far everyone (manufacturers) is arguing about which format is best, and there's no clear winner.
