New tool for determining if the movie fits on DVD-R

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 24 Jul 2002 7:24

Just wanted to ask all of you guys, who own DVD-R (or DVD+R/W) writers to test and help to improve our new web-based tool.
This little helper helps you to determine if the movie is DVD-5 or DVD-9 -- in other words, does the movie fit on one DVD-R disc without any modifications or not.

We would also love to get submissions from the users for DVD-9 entries -- if you have successfully backupped a DVD-9 movie to DVD-R, there's a feature that lets you to add the information to our database about how you did it. Did it require removing the extra features from the disc, etc..

If you're interested, please feel free to try it at:
