    DVD Write and read speeds

    Single Layer(4.7GB) write speeds
    1x (CLV) = about 58 minutes
    2x (CLV) = about 29 minutes
    2.4x (CLV) = about 24 minutes
    4x (CLV) = about 14.5 minutes
    6x (CLV/ZCLV) = about 10-12 minutes
    8x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 8-10 minutes
    12x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 6.5-7.5 minutes
    16x (CAV/ZCLV) = about 6-7 minutes

    Dual/Double Layer(8.5GB) write speeds
    1x CLV = about 105 minutes
    2.4x CLV = about 44 minutes
    4x CLV = about 27 minutes

    Single Layer (4.7GB) read speeds
    1x read speed is 1.321MB/s = ~56 minutes
    6x CAV (avg. ~4x) read speed is max 7.93MB/s = ~14 minutes
    8x CAV (avg. ~6x) read speed is max 10.57MB/s = ~10 minutes
    12x CAV (avg. ~8x) read speed is max 15.85MB/s = ~7 minutes
    16x CAV (avg. ~12x) read speed is max 21.13MB/s = ~5 minutes

    * write speed time and read speed time is not the same because writing requires some extra steps and also does the faster writing above 6x usually use lower write speeds for some parts of the dvd. 4x DVD speed = 36x CD speed. See section 4.2 in the DVDDemystified FAQ here.

    DVD Sizes

    The DVD sizes can be a bit confusing. There are basicly 4 different DVD Sizes,

    DVD-5, holds around 4 700 000 000 bytes and that is 4.37 computer GB where 1 kbyte is 1024 bytes* . DVD+R/DVD+RW and DVD-R/DVD-RW supports this format. Also called Single Sided Single Layered. This is the most common DVD Media, often called 4.7 GB Media.

    DVD-10
    , holds around 9 400 000 000 bytes and that is 8.75 computer GB. DVD+R/DVD+RW and DVD-R/DVD-RW supports this format. Also called Double Sided Single Layered.

    DVD-9
    , holds around 8 540 000 000 bytes and that is 7.95 computer GB. DVD+R supports this format. Also called Single Sided Dual Layered. This media is called DVD-R9, DVD-R DL, DVD+R9, DVD+R DL or 8.5 GB Media.

    DVD-18
    , holds around 17 080 000 000 bytes and that is 15.9 computer GB. DVD+R supports this format. Also called Double Sided Dual Layered.

    * In the computer world is 1 KB data = 1024 bytes so 4 700 000 000 bytes / 1024 = 4 589 843KB / 1024 = 4482MB / 1024 = 4.37GB. See section 3.3 in the DVDDemystified FAQ here.


    DVD+R/DVD+RW/DVD+R DL and DVD-R/DVD-RW exact sizes
    DVD-R/DVD-RW = 4 706 074 624 bytes ( 4488 MB )
    DVD+R/DVD+RW = 4 700 372 992 bytes ( 4482 MB )
    DVD+R DL = 8 547 993 600 bytes ( 8152 MB )

    DVD Formats Explained

    When DVD technology first appeared in households, users were simply popping DVD discs into their DVD players to watch movies — an attractive option to the then-conventional VCR. But just as compact disc (CD) technology evolved so that users could record and erase and re-record data onto compact discs, the same is now true of DVDs.

    With so many different formats — DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-ROM — how do users know which DVD format is compatible with their existing systems, and why are there so many different formats for DVDs? The following information sheds some light on DVD’s different flavors, the differences between them and the incompatibility issues that the differing technologies have sprouted.

    The crucial difference among the standards is based on which standards each manufacturer adheres to. Similar to the old VHS/Beta tape wars when VCRs first hit the markets, different manufacturers support different standards. Additionally, the different variations on the term DVD (e.g. +R, -R, -ROM, and so on) describe the way data is stored on or written to the disc itself. These are called physical formats.

    Starring: Nantarat Sawaddikul, Jaruchai Iamaram

    Director: Apichatpong Weerasethakul

    Studio: Strand Releasing

    Rating: Unrated

    Genre: Drama

    Empty your mind and enter a Zen-like state before watching Syndromes And A Century. This is anything but a conventional romance story, instead feeling like a series of loosely threaded musings about the nature of love and happiness. Buddhist filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul bases this wistful film on thoughts of his parents, both doctors, here confronted with various types of the ‘out-of-whack’ while each tries to find their own happy balance.
