ADV Films DVDs are all DVD5 (should be DVD9) and no copy protection?

I bought Welcome to the NHK and Elfen Lied (not a slim pack) DVDs from Amazon. I am dissappointed because it's not DVD9 there's no difference if you download the DVDR available from torrents. I've seen a 30 minute hentai on DVD5 (they are about 3GB per episode, I guess) and the quality is superb, why don't they maximize the quality of the DVD before moving to Blu-ray (If they could). The disc has no copy-protection perhaps you knew the reasons. I hope every penny I bought from them helps a lot. Laughing

It has nothing to do with quality, DVD5's are just cheaper.

Pah! they are just being cheap, they should release 2 episodes per DVD like the R2Js. Still I'm glad the quality is good.

DVD5 discs are single layer and hold 4.70GB, and DVD9 discs are dual layer and hold 8.54GB, and cost more as mentioned, it doesn't affect quality in any way, just holds more space.

also check out this chart in wikipedia, here

If it holds more that means the video can have a larger bitrate which gives it a better quality. I'd say it affects the quality in a big way.

His probably a noob that's never experienced R2J quality Laughing
