Because it's cheaper for them to put one DVD on the front than it is for
two DVDs on the front, and the price difference between DVD-5 (single
sided / single layer), DVD-9 (SS / dual layer), DVD-10 (double sided /
SL), and DVD-18 (DS/DL) are minimal, possibly negligible, when doing
bulk duplication runs.
