This will take you to some incredible bloopers from the movie, complete with DVD credits. If that doesn’t work either, simply directly access Title 3 on the disc. Now insert the second disc of the set, and go to the 'Deleted Scenes and Documentaries' menu screen. Once there, select 'Deleted Scenes Only' and on the page that says 'Complete Podrace Grid Sequence,' highlight the 'Doc Menu' and then press the 'Right' arrow key on your remote control to highlight a small button.

Layer-changes can be almost instantaneous (no pause) because the laser doesn't have to move back over the center of the disc to start playing the second layer.
DVD-5 A DVD-5 disc is single sided single layer. Approx 2 hours of video.
DVD-9 A DVD-9 disc is single sided dual-layer (RSDL). Approx 3 hours 35 minutes of video (9 GB).
DVD-10 A DVD-10 disc is double sided single layered (Flipper). Approx 4 hours of video.
DVD-18 A DVD-18 disc is the same process as RSDL but dual layers on BOTH sides of the disc (RSDL-Flipper). 4 layers in total. Approx 7 hours, 10 minutes of video (18 GB).
Flipper Even though DVD's dual-layer technology allows over four hours of continuous playback, some movies are split over two sides of a disc, requiring that the disc be flipped partway through.
