From Christine's Post "actually, all DVDs have the same thickness even the dual sided dual layered DVD-18. they are all supposed to be 1.2mm.DualDiscs at 1.6mm (at least, accordingly to what racerguy measured) is a significant 33% thicker, which is why some slot loading players have problems with them.
So it seems all optical disc's are 1.2mm, all DVD from single-layer, single-sided to dual-layer dual-sided, all SACDs Single-layer and Dual-layer. All CDs, CD-Roms, CD-R's, CD-RWs. The only disc that is not 1.2mm is DualDisc which is 1.5mm - 1.6mm and takes advantage of the .3mm tolerance for regular 1.2mm discs.
Not to worry there will be DualDisc compatible CD, SACD and DVD-Players with tolerances up to 1.9mm designed to handle the extra thickness and weight of DualDisc.
Just my 2 cents,
Teresa
