    I was curious as to what format most commercial DVD's are.....

    1. Are they all DVD9 (some movies I back up are less than 4 gigs) ?

    2. What formats are they + or - ?

    3. Are they somehow obtainable ?

    4. Would our DVD burners support writing to them ?

    Commercial discs (DVD-ROM) are pressed, not burned. You the home user can not produce these type of discs. You can however take your master to a replicating house and pay them to make as many copies as you wish pressed on 4.70gb single or 8.54gb double layer.

    I would like to learn more on how they press them, sounds weird since I am just familiar with burning them.

    There's a bit of good info at that site. Jim's got a great book worth checking out as well. I'd recommend it to anybody.
