    DVD5- http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-5.cfm

    you can other guides on afterdawn, you can ripp using free software like handbrake -http://handbrake.fr/
    of ripit4me- http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RipIt4Me


    DVD9-
    dvd-dl IS DVD9, there is no quality difference, just DVD9 (DL-DVD)
    IS structured differently, has more layers and so can contain more data

    i'd use just a normal dvd-r/+r DVD5, dual layer disc's cost more and you wont get many films that take that much time (get a few dl-dvd's so if you get a movie that has over 120 minutes you can burn it to one disc)

    as for the conversion DVDSANTA is the best and only way to go;)

    oh no man dvdsanta is great, i mean apparently it is a bit behind and the resolution maybe a little less fine, but it's nothing i can see plus
    dvdsanta has never given me a headache, i mean how many forums do you see open with people complaining about nero, probably a hundred, dvdsanta probably ZERO!


    dvdsanta is slower then convertxtodvd, but let explain
    the quality will never be as good as santa's!
