    where can i get hold of DVD9's in the UK..am i right in thinking that i would be able to get the full movie onto a DVD9..without having to shrink the movie...and would i be able to copy straight from DVD ROM and and burn it to a DVD9...or would i still have to run it through DVD Decrypter.

    If I understand your question, you can't buy DVD-9 DVD-R, or DVD+R disks. DVD-9 disks are used by manufacturers to make disks we watch. The only disks you can buy to burn onto are DVD-5.
    DVD+R has announced that they will be selling DVD-9 disks next year or early 2005 if I remember correctly. DVD-R has announced that they will match this soon after.
    Both may be moot. Blue laser disks may be on the market soon after which will mean MUCH LARGER capacities.
    Sorry for the long post but the net answer is you can't buy DVD-9s to do what I think you want to do.

    Like CyberLord said, you carn't get them YET! You need to special DVD writer drive for DVD9. Commercial DVD's (the ones you buy at the shops)are currently pressed together to form two layers.

    I would recommend you wait for Blu Ray!

    Thanks Cyberlord and Koola...just that i see on a forum somewhere that somebody was using them...when these larger capacity disk's come out will we have to still go through DeCrypting and shrinking or will we be able to do straight copies from the rom drive to the writer...Many Thanks

    Probs not, they will see this and make it so that we will have to decrypt, rip an burn or just improve on the current encryption.

    Koola am i doing something wrong...because i see lots of people saying they rip movies after the have Decrypted and shrunk them...i have not ripped any of my movies {3}...and is this why on a certain movie i backed up i could not hear what they was saying when they was whispering...apart from that the sound tracks and the Voice modulation as been superb...i have only been doing this a few days.
