That is in fact the question. Is the extra content worth the inconvenience and expense of the DL format and/or the creation of two discs? I personally could go either way, though just releasing one single layer DVD would be easier. Incidentally, I have compiled a list of files which will fit on 1 single layer DVD with about 87MB to spare. Whether we choose the single or dual layer, I propose that this list serve as a starting point. If anyone has any files that they feel should be included or excluded, please let me know. The list is available as tab delimited data at: (as a .zip file) http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/cdproject/dvdfiles.zip (as a .bz2 file) http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/cdproject/dvdfiles.csv.bz2 The data was generated as follows: 1. using the catalog.rdf file downloaded on July 14. 2. Removing all books that have a "type" assigned in the RDF record. This basically gets rid of almost everything that isn't an Ebook, including audio books, music, data, ETC. 3. removed books 2201 through 2224, books 11775 through 11855, and books 19159, 10802, 11220, and 3202. 4. removed files with formats pageimages, msword, text/xml, audio/mpeg, application/octet-stream type=anything, tei, html, pdf, rtf, tex, folio, palm, raider, and unspecified. In a few cases this removed entire titles, but in most cases, this just decreased the number of formats a given title was available in. 5. If a title was available in UTF-8 and/or ISO-8859-X, and also available in ASCII, then the ASCII version was not included. 6. If a book has a zipped and unzipped version in the archive, then only the zipped versions were kept. Again, suggestions are very welcome. Thanks. Aaron On 7/18/09, Keith J.

Hi Aaron,
Well it depends! Do we want to put the html zipped version on it or even non-ebooks?
I believe some prefer html over text. Maybe a dual aproach. "normal DVD with text version and a DL with more on it. Of course it is possible to make two "normal" DVDs. I would prefer a DL.
regards Keith.

I was mistaken. It actually weighs in at 4.5. So, it does in fact fit on a single layer DVD (verified with Nero). In fact, we have about 87MB to spare. So, in light of this new information, the question is whether we want to create a DL DVD or not.
Thoughts?
