9.4GB DVD-R

[touche64]

1) Can one rip and write (a DVD9 movie) to a 9.4GB DVD-R with existing hardware/ software (DVR-105 and, DVD ripping tool, and Nero?)

2) or is the 9.4GB DVD-R the same as a DVD9 or DVD10. i.e. you cannot write to it with existing equipment.

[SLK001]

DVD-R 9.4 is simply a double sided DVD-R with 4.7GB on each side.

The answer to your first question, is "Yes", provided you know what you are doing.

[touche64]

So, a 9.4GB DVD-R is a DVD10. right?, which means that you still need to create 2 disc's (using ifoedit) and then write (burn with Nero) to one side and then the other.

Is my assumption correct?

No, it really is 9.4 GB. It is simply two 4.7GB disks bonded together at the factory at the correct thickness. I have used them a couple of times, and they will hold 4.7GB on each side.

[SLK001]

Oh, I guess that we are both "right". I say that it will hold 9,400,000,000 bytes of data. I, like every other creature in the decimal world (universe), say that 1000 is 1000, NOT 1024.

ya but how fast it adds up, I've been asked by a couple people now why the outside of the DVD case says 4.7GB yet it only holds 4.3GB. Sometimes I just mess with them and tell them they got ripped off.
