Looking for small lots of double-sided DVD-Rs...

I've been thinking about getting myself a Tivo-style device for a while now. When I saw that HH Gregg had the Toshiba RD-XS32(?) DVD burner/DVR for $397, I jumped at the chance and bought one.
I like it very much. I've had it about a week.
Highly recommend it too.

Anyways, in the past I've told you guys about what some of the SW-related stuff I have on tape. Now that I have a burner, I can tranfer it to disk.

I have the following I want to burn:
- From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of the Saga (mid-80s documentary)
- From Jedi to Jedi (2000 documentary about ILM hosted by Samuel L. Jackson)
- Nova: Special Effects (early-to-mid 80s documentary that talks about the work done by ILM primarily on RotJ and Temple of Doom)
- Exposure: Star Wars edition (2000+ Sci-Fi Channel show hosted by Kevin Smith showing a number of short-films inspired by Star Wars, including George Lucas in Love)

Now, my problem is that all total, this is going to be at least 4 hours, if not more. A single-sided DVD will not hold this much at a decent viewing quality. I want to stick to 1 disk because I have a really nice AOL mailing case I want to use. Made up a cover for it and everything.

Now, the burner isn't dual-layer, so I cannot use those. But, a double-sided DVD-R would work fine.

I've done some looking, and I've found a couple places online that sell them...in 40-packs for over $300!!
I also found some auctions on EBay for smaller numbers, but they are still fairly expensive.

Does anyone know of any retail outlets or reputable online dealers that might happen to sell either singles or a 5 pack of them??

Only singles or multipacks of double sided recordable DVDs I've ever seen have been the 3-inch DVD-RAMs that some DVD Cams use.
