I bought quite a few DVDs before the first dual layer ones came out,
something like 30-40. And what difference does it make when dual layer
came out since that was when the double sided DVDs with single layers
quit being made which was my point.

I still have several actual flipper DVDs that
have to be flipped to watch the entire movie, that's why I bought a
Sony 300 CD changer that can play both sides.

And this DVD is not dual layer as I checked it and it only has 4.7G on
each side.
