720p Scan With Current DVD Technology?

If the audio of a DVD movie and its supplemental features were to be totally removed from the disc, would there be enough space on a dual-layer, single-sided DVD-Video disc to hold around two hours of native 1280x720 progressive scan material?

Video Technical Contributing Editorial Director Joe Kane Comments:

As I stated in the articles I wrote in Issues 34 and 35, we anticipate being able to get 130 minutes of 720p/24 frames per second and one or more audio tracks and sub-pictures on a single side of a dual layer disc.
