Double-Sided DVD


Recommended Posts

When I came to play my Only Fools And Horses Series 3 DVD last night, I noticed that neither side of the DVD had a label on it.

 

Supposing it was just an omission at the factory, I put the disc in the machine, assuming I'd have a 50/50 chance of getting it the right way up!

 

Sure enough, the DVD loaded up, but on the menu, there was only four of the eight episodes detailed on the back cover.

 

On the screen, just underneath the menu, it said to flip the disc over for episodes 5-8, which I did with no problem.

 

This is SO bizarre - I have never heard of a double-sided DVD before.

 

Does anyone know of any others?

 

And there is plenty of room on one side of a DVD for eight episodes (series 4 is all on the one side), so why on earth have the BBC done this?

 

And does this mean you can have double-sided CDs too??

The BBC are not very clever when it comes to issuing their material.

They fked up Monty Python when they released the series on DVD [apparently]... by putting the episodes in a random order and chopping bits out!!

Seems that they want users to return to the good ol' days of vinyl, with all this flipping flipping of DVDs!
