OK, that's a fair point I hadn't thought about. Are movie DVDs actually running out of space inside even 4.7GB for the actual movie content? (Ignoring extras, menus, etc.)
I'd expect so if they are more than a couple of hours long and been encoded to high quality, In fact there is no reason to not use the entire capacity of the disk to give a higher bitrate copy. I quite often (at least I used to, not so sure with newer dvd players) notice changes between layers, usually about 2/3rd of the way through a film when it pauses for about .5 of a second when the player does some magic to read the 2nd layer.
