Everyone has their own reasons, and make their own decisions.  In my case, I 
want to author some disks from a set of Hi8 tapes, and I want them split on 
the disks according to subject/place.  If that takes them over the 4.3GB 
recommended for a DVD then so be it.  The result is more important than the 
slight rise in cost - and let's face it, the difference is not huge if you 
only use dual-layer when it's needed.

Ed - let everyone make their own decisions.
