And I thought TDK had *just* announced avant-garde DVD technology which reached up to 39 GB. Was I dreaming?...

It was 6 or more years ago, and they do exist. The reason they have gone away from them is because research showed that people would rather pay more to have 2 DVD's provided they had lables on them.

My Stargate DVD is DVD9 on both sides, one for 4:3 and one for 1 .
