Yes. Dual-layer and double-side discs can hold almost up to four times the amount a single layer on a single side can, up to a total of about 15-16 GB of data. This data must be split between the layers/sides, though.

Why is a DVD more preferrable than a CD?
A DVD is more preferable than CD for its higher storage capacity than CD. Generally, a CD can hold up to 700 MB whereas a DVD can hold up to 4.7 GB. DVD is not only superior than CD in storage capacity, but also it is superior in requirement. It has been experienced that some system softwares require more than one CD or even one complete movie requires two or three CDs for storage. The use of DVD can overcome these problems as one DVD can be used to store the information of a number of CDs. A DVD requires a DVD combo drive or a DVD player which allows to read CDs as well as DVDs. Thus, a DVD is more preferable than a CD.
