I'm in the market for a DVD player and have a JVC XV-N40BK Progressive Scan in mind...however it refers to it as a Single player. Does that mean it does not play dual sided disks or do I even need consider that? Be easy on me!!! LOL!!
Some DVD's can be double sided. Usually movies will include a full-screen on one side and a widescreen on the other. Makes no difference in terms of whether or not a DVD player can play it - you just flip it over (the DVD disc...not the player... heh heh).

I'm pretty sure they stopped using the dual sided discs a few years ago. Instead they opt for having 2 discs or just sell it in one format or the other. Discs became so cheap to produce and the dual-layer technology increased the storage ability such that it didn't make sense to try and improve the dual sided DVD medium from the olden days (1999 ).
IE -- dvds with 2 sides were manufactured before 2001.

Hmmm, that's a first. I've never seen a double sided DVD disk with those options.
Originally posted by rapture I have a Sopranos boxed set and one of the discs is double sided. 2 episodes on each side. The other discs are normal though, 3 episodes each.
That's a truly bizarre.
FYI -- I also know the top dvd disc manufacturers even stopped making the double sided discs.
Thank god they stopped making the double sided DVD's. The first DVD I bought was Starship Troopers, which had 1/2 the movie on one side and the other half on the other. Its soo annoying.. I still have it, dam thing!!

I've got a few DVD's that are double sided but usually it's a widescreen on one side and full screen on the other. Can't remember all of them but Last Man Standing is like that for sure.

How's that for being easy?
Oh btw, DVD's are not double sided.
