In Reply to: It skips w/ a gap like a DVD-V can.
Given the length of the disc, it is possible that there's a layer change in the middle of the track.I don't have my copy of the disc yet, so I can't comment on the specifics.

This would be no different than a SACD with comparable content length.If you exceed 4.5 or so GB, you will have a layer change, regardless of media.
According to HFR its a DVD-9. But even with a layer change, no disc author is going to put the break in the middle of a track. A dual-layer disc could easily store this length of material, and the break be between songs.
Actually your wrong the Police live SACD is over 130 mins on one disc, no layer issues either.
If my calculations are correct, 130 minutes of stereo only material could fit within the constraints of a DVD-5 if they use DST compression for the data.Let's see:
7800 seconds @ 5.6 Mbits/second is a little less than 6GB of data. If the compression ratio of DST exceeds 25%, you could fit this into a single layer.
I agree that it should be that way, but there's no accounting for the decisions made by the person (or people) that author a particular disc.
As I said, I don't have the disc at this point, and my computer with the DVD-ROM drive is 300 miles away, so I can't look at it.
