Are they the same? I just got a DL burner and new to this. How do I backup a DVD on a dl disk without any compression? Looked thru the guides but DVD 9 and DL disks confuse me. All I have is Nero, AnyDVD, DVDShrink, DVDDecrypter, and CloneDVD. Thanx dudes. Sorry, please no flaming.

cheezzzz

DVD9 and Dual Layer disks are the same!

To add a little to IHoe's answer , there are dvd+r and dvd-r (dvd-9)
The dvd+r is the more useful for video and as the stand alone players cannot play the second layer on the dvd-r discs, whereas when booktpyed/bittyped, the stand alone seem to play the dvd+r without problems. DVD-r cannot be booktyped. Hope this helps


BTW, the best burning engine for dvd-9's is Imgburn, free from
www.imgburn.com get it if you are going to burn dvd-9

Thanx iluvendo. Will try the software out.
One more question....is cloneDVD all I need to remove encryption?

Thanx again, folks.

Clone will not remove encryption. Take a look here for some more answers

Well said indeed!

Also if you're burning DL discs...stick with Verbatim's. They're too expensive to make coasters 'cuz you wanted to save 4 cents a disc! So make sure you're using the good stuff.

With the Verbs, make sure they are Made In (MI) Taiwan, or Singapore. Do not use MI India (very dicey)

Thanx, guys. Appreciate the help.

Ya welcome bro and need to see you more often in the boards.
