I am somewhat put off by that because I thought that one of the main points I have supported this new format was because it would hold 20 hours of film and more over time.

The second disc is for extras. This was the Disney equivalent of a Superbit+ offering. Zero compromise. BD50 for maximum video/audio quality for the feature, and then an entire BD25 for extras.

The video had ~40Mbps peaks and a near 20Mbps average
The audio was 48/24. So a sustained 6.92Mbps of audio.

This was Disney pushing the envelope of what could be done.
