The capacity was/is much less than DVD. Many films had to be spread over two discs.

IIRC even the single discs had to be turned over, half way through.

Re: LaserDisc Players?
Yes they did, but lucky me.....my player plays both sides! But I still have to wait for the disc to spin down, heads to line up and it to spin up again. Takes about 10 -15 seconds to swap sides!

Delamination of the disks due to their size and poor storage is a big problem with laserdisc

Re: LaserDisc Players?
Yes, I've heard of problems. Luckily my collection hasn't succumbed so far.

You just need to ensure you store them bolt upright or flat in a stack.
Storing them in flip cases like albums puts massive stress on the top and bottom of the disk and causes the edge delamination.
