Make your DVD as DVD-9 then there will be enough space to improve the
quality. DVD-9 is a single side double layer media. The dual-layer media
has been available on the market for over a year and the price is falling.
You can also get your DVD replicated by companies such as
www.newcyberian.com, www.discmakers.com, etc. Do read the HowTo in
http://www.newcyberian.com/howto/dvdauthoring.html about DVD-9 authoring.
