Gamecube optical disk

A GameCube Optical Disc.

The GameCube Optical Disc is a Nintendo developed proprietary disc media for the Nintendo GameCube. It is based on a variation of the 8 cm DVD, or MiniDVD. The optical disc holds 1.5 Gigabytes of information, and a barcode located at the inner ring of the disk surface help in disc verification and prevents piracy.

Though the GameCube Optical Disc can hold quite a bit of information, games which use a lot of voice work or FMV frequently need to be placed on two discs.
