Well, Home Theater Software would probably be a better place for this. Does it have a big label on it that says it's a DVD-9? If so it's probably a bootleg DVD
Other than that, some discs have trouble with some players, and I would suggest exchanging it

Yes it has a big round sticker that reads "original DVD9 quality", so it's a bootleg?

99.9% definate that it's a bootleg. I have never ever run into a legit disc that advertises that it's on DVD-9, while bootlegs often advertise it

Without seeing the disc I'd have to say its' definitely a bootleg also. I bet at the top of it is a great big red band that says DTS too. DTS is all the rage in Asia right now, and so are multilayer discs (many of their discs were lower quality, or had little or no extras, so a movie would fit fine on a standard disc.) If it's got a big DVD 9 sticker on the front, and the DTS banner across the top (especially if it also has a Dolby soundtrack on it as well) it's going to be a bootleg.

Yep, those are two biggest signs of a bootleg, regarding the packaging.

How can it be a bootleg if its dual layer? DVD-R/+R can only do singler layer. Also I have the DTS version of Scareface and it says DVD9:dual layer on the cover so can this be a bootleg as well?

Thanks for all the responses. The seller is going to issue a refund to me. Please be wary of these items on eBay.
As for the Scareface, YES, it is a bootleg.
