Actually, Goten, he was entirely correct. Most commercial DVDs are dual layer, and some are even dual layer on two sides (those are really a pain to make backups of.)
That's why when you want to make a backup of most commercial DVDs, you have to lower the audio or visual quality or remove extras to make a movie fit a DVD-R. Most DVD-R discs and drives are only single-layer, with a capacity of about 4.7 GB. They just started releasing dual-layer writers, but they're somewhat expensive and DVD-Rs for them aren't readily available.
P.S.
Somehow, I find your statement reeking of bad figures of speech.
