What you are asking is a dual-sided DVD. Yes, you can treat them as two disks. I haven't seen them at all in the market here. So I can assume that they cost more.

oh ok thanks!

i edited the thing so its 'sided' not 'layered'

dual sided disks are available in the markets but it costs around 500rs ... in s.p road, bangalore...... its not worth its better to split the d.v.d into 2 disks...

Another related noob question... Can normal DVD-ROM read double layered DVDs (8.5 GB ones) ? If no, what should one look for while purchasing the drive ?

One should look for a drive that says on the package carton that the drive can read dual layer dvds. Almost all recent drives can read DL DVDs.
