Why can’t we record on both sides of a DVD?

May 9, 2020 by Karen Hill

Manufacturers believe that consumers would rather have a colorful label printed on one side than have a two-sided disk with twice the capacity.

Some releases, however, have discs that are 2 sided. Although they have been few and far between these days.
