The mastering of a DVD is comparable to that of a CD. However, it is possible to store 7 to 25 times more data on a DVD than on a CD of the same diameter. A single-sided, single layer disc can store approximately 4.7 gigabytes, known as DVD-5. By bonding 2 layers of data together, it becomes possible to store about 9 gigabytes of data, known as DVD-9. Double-sided discs can also be created (known as DVD-10).
