Yes, PAL latest revision could pack up to near 65min. of video per CLV side.

As I understand it PAL discs can contain longer sides than NTSC. The exact figure is mentioned earlier in the thread but I think in theory a PAL disc can contain up to 65 mins per side.

I noticed that side 1 of the Beauty & The Beast “Work In Progress” version runs 29:59, so… very close to the theoretical maximum. But I see on this thread there are actually some CAV sides that surpassed the 30 minute mark. Who knew!

You might notice "Disney's Sing Along Songs Vol. 7" featuring "Circle of Life" and "Campout at Walt Disney World" with the "Pocahontas" sneak peek clocks in at 59:48.

Side 4 of "The Three Caballeros/Saludos Amigos" Exclusive Archive Collection clocks in at 60:14, that also goes for side 2 of the 40th Anniversary Limited Edition of "Old Yeller".

Looks like Those Who Hunt Elves II: vol.6 (1997) [ASLY-1199] is about 61:02 (LDDB listing says 48 minutes, but the side has some extras and commercials at the end).

Not quite a record for an NTSC disc, but was surprised to have a disc with such a long side in my collection. (IIRC, the other volumes in the series aren't quite as long)

Side 5 of the CAV Edition of "Fantasia" (1236 CS) clocks in at 30:14.

And funny thing is side 2, which features "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", runs 10:24, the shortest side in the set.

Actually, according to my copy, it ran about 30 minutes, 10 seconds, and I believe the same applies to the regular final version.

I think I've got a potential NTSC/CLV winner... 62:54!

edit: Now up at https://archive.org/details/TopHitsEnglishSongs24LD

I searched on this to see if it was covered in Oddity Archive yet (the B side has Never Gonna Give You Up) and I found this Top Hits English Songs 24 (1991) [JLD-126] from laserking:

Quote:
Upon acquiring this disc, I was certain that the jacket wrongly listed the running time as 123 minutes. I thought this length would be impossible on a single CLV disc. However, when I checked the running time, I found it to be correct. Side one pushes the limit, clocking in at nearly 63 minutes! This is the longest running time I have ever seen on a single side.


I've confirmed this with an ld-decode capture - there are 133112 frames, and here's the last one in ld-analyse. It's pressed by mitsubishi and from the SNR is likely true-CLV.
