Is it DVD or Blu-ray?

-I ordered a dvd from ebay the other day and when I got it I looked on the disc and it said Disney blu-ray I don't have a DVD player so I use my PC which doesn't have a blu-ray drive but it still played it I looked at the size of the CD and it said 7.85 GB which is the size of a DVD9, I was under the impression that a blu-ray disc was between 25 and 50 gigs. and if its a DVD9 why doesn't it say it on the disc? and whatever it is will it play on a regular dvd player? cause I bought it for someone elseFirst off, no, blu-ray discs are not blue on the back... The "blu" refers to the laser (which is blue, instead of red)



Considering the PC was able to read the disc at all tells me it's a DVD. Otherwise your computer wouldn't be able to even give you the capacity numbers.



However some earlier Disney releases used to put blu-ray and DVD on a single disc. This way you only had 1 disc but it would work on both types of players. The downside is that this took space away from the disc's capacity as a blu-ray disc. So maybe that's what you have.Sometimes Disney sells movies in twin-packs where you get a DVD and a Blu-Ray of the same movie.



Anyway, if it's DVD it will have the official DVD logo on it:

And if it's Blu-Ray it will have the official Blu-Ray logo on it:

If it has both logos, then it should work for either one... and even though DVD players won't play Blu-Ray discs, Blu-Ray players will play DVD discs.
is it gold on the back?



several companies makes gold dvd-r's



to me, it sounds like a DVD-R with a blu-ray label printed onto the disc
is it blue on the back? if so, you've got a bluray.
