Actually, the  '  mark is minutes, and  "  is seconds. This comes from latitude/longitude usage.

Thanks!

Well techie, " stands for MINUTES as well as inches as any good ol' boy engineer(that would be me) knows. That means it is a FORTY ONE MINUTE DVD.

Wow, a 41" DVD. Please explain that to this ole boy from the deep south
that may have fallen from a turnip truck or two while inebriated, but it
wasn't yesterday. I've been a techie all my life having grown up in a
shop and educated and worked in just about every type and style of
electronics environment and I don't recall that piece of equipment. I
had until recently a 10 inch early 256 byte IBM hard drive, an 8 inch
floppy drive and various other early ancient makers gear but this one
has me stumped. I do have 8 and 16 mm Bolex and a 8 mm Beaulieu motion
picture camera, plus all manner of 35 mm stuff mostly Nikon so I loved
making that media work well.
