Some early DVD releases were known as "flippers" because the movie was split onto both sides so you had to take the DVD out of the machine and turn it over to watch the second half.
Some blank tapes were 4hrs. Titanic is only 2 and a bit hours long. I'm sure titanic and schindlers list were single tapes.

Apocalypse Now: Redux @ 3hrs 23mins (?) was on one tape (included 43 mins. extra footage over the orig.)
Is that where they go and eat a meal with some French colonial family or something? Remember seeing that version once. Didn't add much for me.
Titanic was on one VHS cassette, at least in the UK.
A lot of long films were released on two cassettes in the US. I think this may have been down to the NTSC picture standard they used, which meant that not as much could be fit on a single tape. It runs at 30 frames per second, whereas the PAL standard we used in the UK had 25 frames a second.
That's the one. And there was more footage of their stop at the supplies depot on the river, and an extra bit at the end IIRC...

And the Playboy bunnies getting their **** out in the chopper
But then a lot of people (myself included) would prefer the subbed instead of dubbed I guess.My eldest son watched his Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon DVD all the way through in Mandarin Chinese with subtitles and then I pointed out there was a English dubbed option in the audio sub menu
