DVD-5 vs DVD-9

[bigskank]

Are DVD-9 discs available on the market or is DVD-5 all that's available. Are there any DVD burners which can burn DVD-9 media?

I haven't seen any that burn 9 yet......except for commercial use (expensive!!). I think it'll be a couple years before many manufacturers do 9....5 is just now starting to really hit the market.

Use DVD X Copy to split DVD9 to 2x DVD5.

I thought DVD9 or DVD5 was a std in piracy??

DVD5 means the DVD only contains data on one layer and on one side.

DVD9 means the DVD contains data on two layers on one side.

Current recordable DVDs are DVD5.


You can do basically the same thing DVD X COPY does with DVD Decrypter and IfoEdit. And they're both free, not $100.

DVDXCOPY is kinda dumb. It splits it over two dvd's so you still have to swap disks. Just strip what you don't need or want and put it on one. I havn't found any extras lately that were even worth keeping.

DVD9 is pressed as far as I know so don't expect any burners anytime soon.

exactly. They burn layer 1, burn layer 2, then smash'em together. Some how I don't see DVD-9 in consumer form unless the tech behind it changes.

They are working on dual layer dvd recorders. It is easy to record on two layers, all you have to do is change the focus of the beam onto the second layer. It would be expensive because there would be more processes to making the dvd media but it is not impossible. If the consumer wants it, they will make it.
