You misunderstand how discs works. Basically see view data at their core as a sequence of 0s and 1s (actually little pits on a disc, equally 0s and 1s), so something like:

0001101011101001011110011100011111111001010100011

6.8 GB regards the whole disc, which is divided into tracks.

The outer tracks, a sequence of 0s and 1s, can hold more data as the track is longer. A disc spinning at a constant rate, thus means one rotation at the outer edge more 0s and 1s will pass the lens than for a single rotation on an inner track.

 

Lol, that has nothing to do with what I said.

The only thing I said is that the 6.8 GB of data can be placed exclusively on the outer part of the disc, which has higher read speed with a CAV drive.
