>>>Thanks for all the replies. I download a copy of DVD
Decrypter fromwww.flexion.org. It works great to get acopy of the
DVD on your hard drive. Trouble is, the files are all 6-8 gig.So they
can't be put back on a normal CD. Nice try anyway. Guess I'll
just buy an extra copy next time.Ron-----Original
Message-----Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 11:11 AMTo: Multiple
recipients of list ORACLE-LThe specs I gave are just that.
Specifications from the DVD MPEG group.Most DVDs pressed today are
dual-layered (due to all the extra content andfeatures). You can
usually see the layer switch, unless you have a secondor third generation
DVD player (they have large buffers for this). I canalways tell where
it is becuase my receiver drops the audio for a second andthen
re-acquires.As for DVD-18 (18gb dual layered dual sided) discs, these
are dual-layerdflipper discs. They are usually the ones with STANDARD
pan and scan on oneside and WIDESCREEN on the other,and multiple features on
both. Some willeven put Dolby digital on one side and DTS on the
other. A good example ofa DVD-18 disc is the early release
copies of T2:Terminator 2. This dischas a ton of extra content, in
addition to the extended movie, and wasoriginally put on one disc (two sides
dual layered). They used every inchof space for that one.
However, the demand for sales was way beyond theirexpectations. And
since, at the time, there was only 1 or two plantscapable of pressing
dual-layered dual-sided discs, they couldn't meetdemand. So they
shifted to a 2-disc set. That's what you'll find today.There is a
judegment call to be made on cost of 2 discs, packaging andweight versus 1
flipper disc with not as many copies.I haven't seen too many dual-sided
dual-layered (DVD-18) discs out lately soI don't know where the trend is
headed. I do see alot of flipper discs(standard / widescreen) but they
are usually single-layered. I think theytry to keep the discs as
simple as possible (single-layered) when they canso all players can read
them ok. There are quite a few (Abyss, Matrix amongothers) which can
be troublsome in the earlier players (seamless branchingand index
features).I could go on an on (I used to work for a company which did
DVD), but thisis an Oracle forum, right? By the way, we used Informix
for our databaseneeds. Hey, at least they beat our
Sybase...-----Original Message-----SpenceSent: Wednesday,

generally only 1.2Gb from what Ihave seen.DVD can hold

can convert them to VCD format and burn them to a regular CD-R,although it
will probably span more that one CD-R.--Michael-----Original

be able to copy them but all the copyright or copyleft guys will beat your

largedisk space as well.A DVD RAM drive would help though
