DVD-5

DVD-5 is an acronym that means a DVD (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd.cfm) disc that is one-sided single-layer disc and can contain upto 4.38 gigabytes of data on it.

DVD disc manufacturers love to use marketing terms and sell their discs as 4.7GB discs, but this is not true -- the 4.7GB is calculated by using so-called "Japanese gigabytes", where the power of calculations is 1,000 instead of 1,024 (and 1.024 is the correct way to calculate everything in computer world -- so, 1024 megabytes == 1 gigabyte).

DVD-5 DVD-Video (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-video.cfm) discs are nice, because DVD writers (this applies to both, DVD-R (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-r.cfm) and DVD+R (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvdplusr.cfm) standards) can only write single layer discs.

Other regular DVD size acronyms are:
-DVD-9 (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-9.cfm)
-DVD-10 (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-10.cfm)
-DVD-14 (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-14.cfm)
-DVD-18 (http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-18.cfm)

God of War is DL game.
Depending on what mod chip your have and what version, you may need to patch the ISO in order to be able to play it.
Little info on your setup will help out.
