How do I know if it is DVD9 or DVD5?

[BMORIN]

How do I know if a DVD is DVD9 or DVD5? Sry for the noob question.

[Tommyknocker]

Run it through DVD Shrink. It will tell you how many GB it has.

There are a few ways:

First the obvious Check the box that the DVD came in If it says 'dual layer' then its a DVD9 (I have also come across a DVD14 disc 'The Piano')

Next check the DVD its self again your looking for 'dual layer'



Ok, and now for the ways to tell when your using a program.

- If the total file size is more then 5GB then it's a DVD9(or higher)

Hope I helped some...

When I don't know if a DVD is single or dual layer I just pop it in my DVD-ROM drive and start up DVD DECRYPTER in ISO READ MODE.

It will then tell you if it is 1 or 2 layers.

looooook reallllly close you can see the layers.
put it in the dvd drive, click on the drive properties of your drive, ie d, e , f and see how large the disc is.

Dual layered discs (DVD-9) are gold in colour. Single layered discs (DVD-5) are silver.

Dual layered discs (DVD-9) are gold in colour. Single layered discs (DVD-5) are silver.

I used to say that too but lately I've seen many DVD-9 that are silver, so that isn't always the case.
