@jjovereats Dual-layer Blu-Ray is 50GB. I've never seen recordable dual-sided dual-layer DVDs; you can get 2-sided single-layer blanks but I've never seen them in stores, I have to mail-order them and keep a supply.
I still remember the Toshiba demo video they had out 6 or 7 years ago. It was to promote the color on their televisions. It featured a hot brunette model in a variety of colored bikinis. I wish someone would post that video here.
I remember back in the day being really hyped about DVD. It's definitely the most convenient format and the cheapest but I can't stand them any more. I'm looking to switch all my movies over to LaserDisc. If it's not on LD, then I'll get in on Blu-Ray.
@jblackrupert Old fella? I'm 21. I just prefer LaserDisc's over DVD's. The sound quality is much better and the picture quality is about the same. I really like the huge covers and the box sets. It seems a lot more effort was put in to LD releases. DVD just seems cheap by comparison. But whatever.
@Enigmatism415 you should check out some of the newer formats in prototype production right now; such as the 5D DVD, or HVD. the Holographic Versatile Disc can store 6 TB of info on one disc (6000 GB), and the 5D DVD can store 10 TB! the HVD is planned to be released in around 10 years or so.

And it's very stupid. 20-ish years later, and VHS now has it's niche in CD-quality audio mastering.

@computerman1323 Yes and no. They knew Blue-violet lasers were destined for use in HD discs, but neither HD-DVD nor Blu-ray were created yet.

"...even higher capacities can be realized, and make it possible to achieve High-Definition TV quality video."
A spot-on prediction as this is exactly what would come to fruition in less than a decade after this video was made. Amazing.
