I don't know either, but I'd really like to know, so here's a bump...
I noticed a bunch of discs on ebay advertised as DVD-9, dual-layer discs...

I think it's German for "No DVDs!"

Either that or single-sided, dual-layer. When mentioned on the package, usually indicative of a bootleg.

DVD-9: refers a DVD that is single-sided and dual-layered, which holds up to four hours of video and audio (i.e., 8.5 GBytes of data), without having to manually "flip" the disc. Also see DVD-5, DVD-10, DVD-14, DVD-18.

^^ What he said.

Also, in the bootleg terms, DVD 9 can be referred as high quality bootlegs. Mostly copy from original DVD or screener.

Not all DVDS that have DVD-9 on them are bootlegs... the majority are..but there are some legit ones that are usually asian themed.

As far as DVD-5 and on and on, I notice that is listed on a number of UK sites..just as information..not actually on the package.
