that would give me a big reason to buy my first dvd.

1. A standard single layer DVD holds 4,590MB (NOT 4,700MB, as they market it as 1000k = 1MB instead of 1024k = 1MB). I am actually doing some professional DVD authoring and everything states it can only hld 4.35GB and they give some buffering reason or something. But overburning is possible.

2. I actually don't know if it's possible to create break points on Data-DVDs, so I don't know if making dual-layer discs is possible. At least I haven't used any Data-DVD software that allows it. Dual layer might be something specific to DVD-Video discs.

3. With that, upwards of 20DVDs would be the the right range. If dual-layer is possible, it would be a lot cheaper. Per disc it only costs about 5-10 cents more to burn something dual-layer compared to single-layer. So (going by the average mass-manufacturing DVD costs in the US), it would cost around $10US to manufacture 10 dual-layer DVDs (although it will probably need 11 by the time this comes out. Dual-Layer DVDs hold 8.85GB, not exactly double of a single-layer). It would cost around $18 to create 20 single-layer DVDs.

HOLY CRAP!!! A couple questions:

How much would they sell this boxed set for?

How the hell could anyone ever listen to ALL of that music? I mean around 2 hrs/week, 52 weeks/year from 1993 -> 2002 = 1040 hours!!! That's like 43 days worth straight .

This brings me to my other point: This would be a very good collector's item, how much do you think it would be worth in say 10 or 15 years?

I want all the oakay EMs back in the day

you could make the dvds dual sided, i think everybody forgot about that, it would cut the number of discs in half

Hahahahah..hardly a collectors item mate. So many would be sold, in 10-15 years time the price depreciation would be what is expected of a 20dvd box.
