Here's another bit 'o trivia: the original DVD spec called for a 5gb single-layer disc. However, it was highly prone to scratching. It was SONY and Matsushida that developed the technology that made DVD's more scratch-resistant (sound familiar?), and it was officially adopted by the DVD Group. However, it lowered DVD capacity to 4.7gb on a single layer.
