On the market in the DVD format currently are DVD5 (Single Layer) and DVD9 (Dual Layer). DVD5's are the most popular, hoever if you own a DVD with a movie that exceeds 120 minutes in length then chances are it's a DVD9. There is also DVD18 on the market which are Double-sided- Dual-layer DVD's and can hold 17GB of data compared to 8.5GB on DVD9 and 4.7GB on DVD5.

Up to two on any one side, as long as the physical disc is produced to conform. Currently, double-side, double-layered discs exist on the market, so that makes it up to four layers in total, or two per side.
