also films are dvd9 but you can shrink them to dvd5, I was wondering do games come in dvd9 if so can you convert them to dvd5 i think you cant because you need all the game data unlike the films trailers and menus etc...

DVD5 and DVD9 are both SL discs
DVD9DL is a dual layer disc with two DVD5 layers
DVD18DL is a dual layer disc with, you guessed it two DVD9 layers

Both. For the most part, DVD5
