twodisc

Twodisc is a term used in media publishing to denote a product that comprises two discs. Though the form is typically written as two-disc or 2-disc, the concatenated variant twodisc appears in catalogs, product codes, and some branding. Twodisc releases are common in music, film, and video game packaging, particularly as deluxe or expanded editions intended to offer additional content beyond a standard single-disc version.

In music, a twodisc edition may include remastered audio on the first disc and bonus material—such as B-sides, live performances, demos, or remixes—on the second disc, often packaged with an expanded booklet or artwork. In film and television, a twodisc set can feature the main feature on one disc and commentaries, making-of documentaries, or archival material on the other. In video games, a twin-disc release might bundle the main game with downloadable content or supplementary media.

Packaging characteristics commonly associated with twodisc releases include gatefold or digibook packaging, clear or colored discs, and enhanced liner notes. The term has become less central with digital distribution, but twodisc formats remain in use for collectors and enthusiasts.
