DVD-9 Format

I suspect the quality of a Hindi movie is low enough that you could fit 10 on a single DVD! }:)~ Don't take this seriously -- I'm JUST KIDDING!!!!

Yesterday I bought a Hindi (India) DVD here. It actually contains 2 movies in 1 Disc. First I thought it's a goof, but when I ran some tools to see what it actually contains. I was surprised to know that it's a "Single side Dual layer format DVD-9" But from this site[^], it says DVD-9 format contains "about 4 hours". Usually Hindi movies run anywhere between 2 1/2 to 3 hours. My question how did they fit in 2 movies in 1 DVD. To my surprise there is one more DVD which has 3 movies in 1 DVD. :eek: Don't :beer: and drive.
Which movies were they?

It even includes scene selections, subtitles option, songs selection(typical in Hindi movies) for the both the movies. From the tool I used, this is the information I get:
Sectors : 3,945,026
Size : 8,079,413,248 bytes
Time : 876:42:26 (MM:SS:FF) :suss:
Disc Size : 120mm
Number of Layers : 2
Track Path : Opposite Track Path (OTP) :confused:
Linear Density : 0.293 um/bit
Track Density : 0.74 um/trackDon't :beer: and drive.

The sector stats are normal for most dvd movies. When you compress in mjpeg you set a quality factor for the compression. This is true for all lossy compression algorithms. This quality factor along with the redundancy of the data determines how well the movie compresses. The times that are listed for each format are typical for the average movie at a specific quality factor. It may be very difficult to distinguish a lower quality factor than a higher so your video may look good but be at a lower quality factor. John

Thx for the clarification. How to know how much these 2 movies occupied in the 8,079,413,248 bytes disk space? The reason I asked you b'cos there is another DVD which has 3 movies in it.. :eek: Add their total running time almost equal to 9 hours. Don't :beer: and drive.

If you open the disk in explorer you should see how much each movie took. I don't have one handy but the movies will obviously be the biggest files. John
