How many bytes does a DVD hold?

Answer 1

when we're talking about DVD movies thinking in terms of how many bytes is pretty rediculous.

a very short DVD quality movie will be measured at least in tens of mega-bytes (Mb).

one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes. so, if you were, for instance, thinking in terms of how many bytes there were in a full-length DVD quality feature film then you would be talking about gigabytes(Gb). one Gb is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes.

you need between 1 and 3 gigs of space for a whole DVD worth of information.

Answer 2

usually a dvd is 4.7 gigabytes which is 5.04659e9 bytes

Answer 3

A single layered single sized DVD can hold 4.7 GB of data. A dual layer DVD can hold 8.5 GB of data.

Answer 4

As many as a potato can.
