Download a free program called DVD Decrypter. Open the program and put your disc in the computer. It will show how big it is. Or look on the back of your game case. It will tell you if it is a DVD or Cd-Rom game. 95% of the time it is a DVD

This is easy.


If it's blue on the bottom of the disc, it is a cd-rom.

If it is clear, put the disc in the drive and start dvd decrypter.

On the right side of the program it will say something similar to this.
