just a simple question about dvd dl disks, i know that it has twice the amount of space than a normal disk, but is it like those double sided disks where half of the space is on one side, and half of the space is on the other,
or is it like a normal disk where all the space is on one side and i can put a dvd label on the other?

the dl disc is only on one side. you can put that label on if you want too.
i think the other are called flippers.
i sure someone will correct me if i am wrong
