Here are your answers in order of how you Asked them on your last post

1)DVD-9 Disc carry More Memory Yes

2)Some people mean you have to make a DVD-9 Disc To a DVD-5 Disc by shrinking The Size to fit it on the DVD-5 Disc.

3)You Can Buy An Empty DVD-9 disc to burn with But its a little more money and not always easy to find in small stores, And you have to have a DUAL LAYER DVD Burner.

4)Some people have to make DVD-5 Disc Into DVD-9 Because some games Have to much GB'S And cant fit a standard 4.7 GB/DVD-5 same with certain Movies Most use DVD Shrink to lessen the size of the disc.


Hope that answers all your questions buddy good luck

Hmm not sure about that I think in order to put God Of Wars on a DVD-5 Disc And play it well People Have erased some of the pieces of movies in between levels by opening the ISO Image with MagicISO Or ISOBUSTER BUT ...

If you have a DVD-9 disc yes you can burn it to that Using DVD Decrypter, Nero Or Whatevers good For You. I'v read Somewhere it may be choppy While Playing you can Research that On This Site there was alot of Talk in that topic

P.S. Dont worry my spelling is not the best as well and english is my only language But i an read your writing perfectly so its kool :-)

If you're a modchip user, you may be able to burn a direct 1:1 copy of God of War and play it fine on a DVD9 disk, however if you use Swap Magic, you're out of luck. Swap Magic currently does not know how to load a DVD9 disk. I imagine the next version of Swap Magic will, as it's the next logical step.
