One DVD is fine for now - it looks pretty darn good as is. (and I'm not into swapping discs in the middle of the film.)

People here will see how good it looks sometime this week. When I can get a DL burner, I'll make a DL version. It's really not all that hard. Patience.

"And from that base, there are many programs (like CloneDVD) that takes EXISTING dual-sided data and then filter it down for single-sided DVD duplication. If you want to produce a single-sided DVD, then filter down from the original, and distribute that, and this still leaves the option of a serious dual-sided version from the raw data."

While this is technically true, the quality of the encoder of such software isn't always of the same quality as that of a dedicated encoding program, such as MainConcept. The fact that such programs will re-encode the video far faster than that of real encoding programs speaks volumes. Generally, it's not very noticeable (I've used DVDShrink many times on DL media), but it's not something I want to do for my SW films, especially since I'll be receiving a professional-grade encoding program very soon.
