So therefore it would be to their advantage anyway to put more content
on a disc.

Let's say that a company is planning to release a season set of a given
show. Wouldn't it actually be cheaper to use BluRay or HD-DVD to put the
entire season on one disc, since using standard def DVD would mean using
more discs?

They're not selling a specific number of discs. They're selling *a
season set*. It would be to their advantage to use as few discs as
possible - cheaper for them, and more convenient for the customer.
