    The disc may have one or two sides, and one or two layers of data per side; the number of sides and layers determines the disc capacity.

    DVD-5: single sided, single layer, 4.7 gigabytes (GB), or 4.38 gibibytes (GiB) - Supported by DVD±R/RW
    DVD-9: single sided, double layer, 8.5 GB (7.92 GiB) - Supported by DVD±R
    DVD-10: double sided, single layer on both sides, 9.4 GB (8.75 GiB) - Supported by DVD±R/RW
    DVD-14: double sided, double layer on one side, single layer on other, 13.3 GB (12.3 GiB) - Not commonly found
    DVD-18: double sided, double layer on both sides, 17.1 GB (15.9 GiB) - Supported by DVD+R
    There are also 8 cm DVDs (not mini-DVD, which usually refers to DVD-Video data on a CD) with a disc capacity of 1.5 GB.
