Hope this helps.
Thank you! Much appreciated.

you guys must know this stuff? Is there a website that has kept track of all the pressing information, catalog numbers, serial numbers on discs that you could refer me to?
thanks

A duel layer DVD can basically hold the amount of two DVDs on a single side of one DVD. It solves the problem of having to walk up to the player and "flip" the DVD when the side runs out. Instead of flipping it, you have what is called a "layer change," which is when the DVD switches between the two layers. This results in a slight pause, which depending on how it's done, can either be well hidden or annoying. In Pulp Fiction, for example, the layer change is placed in the middle of Christopher Walken's fantastic monologue.
Dual Layer DVD's hold 2x the amount of data as a single layer DVD, thus reducing the amount of compression needed to fit a whole movie worth of video, audio, menu's, special features, etc. onto a DVD. Less compression equals better picture quality as you can sample the video at a higher bitrate.

This is my first post, so before I make a fool of myself, could someone kindly point me in the direction of any appropriate FAQ's (not the petition one) and the Forum Rules?
I do have a quesiton that I have not been able to find the answer for yet on this forum or in any of my web searches. I would like to buy a set of the Definitive Collection laser discs, but want to ensure that I get the latest pressing with the restored 7-seconds of missing welding footage and any other corrections they made over the previous pressings. Could someone please post:
* the serial number from Disc 2, Side 3 of The Empire Strikes Back of the final pressing (or first pressing where this footage has been restored). "These seven seconds pertain to Leia welding on the Millenium Falcon. If you have a copy of this disc (the correct disc starts with Leia welding versus starting with Leia hanging up her welder)" source - http://home.earthlink.net/~treadwell_jay/starwars/THX.htm I believe these serial numbers look like B1xxx, B2xxx, B3xxx but don't know which serials correspond to the corrected pressings.
* the catalog number of the final pressing of the set, as well as the catalog number of the first pressing where the missing 7 seconds has been restored.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
