Krypto the Superdog DVD - only 2.5 GB of content!

For those of you who don't know about these things, most commercially available DVDs are dual-layer discs that can hold up to 9 GB of data. Krypto the Superdog, Vol. 1: Cosmic Canine contains a paltry 2.5 GB of data - even a single layer disc holds a little more than 4.5 GB. Why didn't they add another episode or a little more content?

Weak.

Because it was a half-hearted attempt to put the material out there. Only 5 episodes.... sheesh... Good thing I got a movie ticket and litho cell.

I haven't seen this DVD, but I'm guess that they could have maybe improved the video if they compressed it less and filled up the single layer. Adding a second layer increases production costs, but filling up a whole single layer shouldn't.

You get a movie ticket with the DVD so basically the disc is free.
