Video DVD, DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W support this format. Often referred to as "single sided, single layer".

DVD-9 is a single-sided dual-layer DVD which can fit up to 8.5 GB or 7.95 computer GB which many commercial video DVDs are using today (a DVD-9 is basically two pressed plastic DVD-5s pressed together, which are not burned). Video DVD supports this format but DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W do not support this format.
