DVD discs have a structure consisting of two 0.6mm thin discs, which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve doule-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.
