Anyway. We'll see.
This is why there is a single layer version. Which most of you will be getting. If I send the dual layer data on two discs, it will NOT be readable in your DVD player directly.
Chapter selection for these discs is identical to the 2004 official releases, for reasons which ought to be obvious.

Okay, I've thought about the dual layer thing.
Guys, I'm broke. My bank account is overdrawn. I can't afford dual layer discs.
And most people will be getting the single layer anyway.
What I'm thinking is - if I get enough people asking for the dual layer before the disc is released, and I can sustain the demand, I'll see about buying a stack of dual layer discs.
Hm.

Just a suggestion but why not let the rest of us take the pain and pay for this?
If you were to send 3 (or less) copies (SL or DL) to the Newsgroupers, Spleeners and Pif'ers that would cover 100% of the people who want to see this version you have created at minimum cost to yourself. (I know of one Spleener that could get this off the Newsgroup and posted faster than the mail could deliver!)
All 3 methods work perfectly and everyone here can use at least one of the methods.
I would suggest the same to anyone else doing any project. If someone has done the hard work, why should they pay to let others see it????
