Is WAY: Live! gold? Or silver?

Its gold. Basically a dual-layered DVD holds more memory; than a single layered.. In other words more MB.

Being gold on the bottom does not necessarily mean that its dual layered. If its a DVD-ROM than its silver on the bottom, but it can still be dual-layered. Just thought I'd mention that.

It can? Wow.

Wait a minute, that doesn't make sense. There is absouloutely no difference between a ROM and a Video DVD, other than their formatting. As far as I know, in fact, no dual-layered DVD-ROMs have been issued. However, I'm a newbie to the subject, so I wouldn't know.

One thing is for sure, gold discs are definitely dual-layered, unless the pressing plant purposely went to the trouble of changing the colour, which would be expensive and pointless.

Oh, and dual-layered should theroretically mean DOUBLE the space of a normal disc. In practice, however, some discs may contain slightly less in order to accomodate for a "seamless layer change". This means more GB, not MB.

Okay okay your right my bad. I caught the flu right before x-mas. Man this sucks. I wasn't thinking clearly wait hold on *runs to bathroom* okay I'm back anyways, where was? I kinda lost my train of thought...um well I guess its a round of about of way of saying it but the whole point that I'm trying to make is I HAVE THE FLU!!! So please forgive me for the stupidity. I know its GB not MB :lookround:.

YOU got UHF? So you must have a multi-region player, am I right?

Certainly do. I was so nervous waiting for it because I wasnt 100% sure if mine was multizone.

It didnt work on my mates but mine was fine. Its great.

I think i remember the guy saying my dvd player could play any dvds except burnt ones.

If you look on ebay you should be able to find one suitable on there somewhere
