- Compressing the DVD-: After you have moved the material to hard drive, it has to be arranged so that it can be moved to a blank DVD. Most of the commercial DVD’s use dual layer, which enables a data capacity of 9 GB. You can get DVD’s having single layer and can store only 4.7 GB data. We will need software to compress the data in the DVD.
