Is dual layered simply a double sided dvd disc or, is it something else?

Actually, the two "burnable" layers are on the same side of the disc.

Single layer= 4.7GB

Dual layer= 8.5GB

Use a program like DVDShrink to compress DVD video to fit on single layer media...

If Shrink can't rip it, then rip it to your HD first with DVDFab Decrypter...

There's also a guide on how to use DVDShrink at the first link... Both programs are free!!!
