While DVD-R DL discs are more expensive that DVD-R, they are much cheaper than they used to be. Just like all media, the longer they are produced, the cheaper they get. Blu-Ray discs are "as low as $11.99 each" on allmediaoutlet.com in early 2008. I'd be interesting to see how much they are in a year.
Single Layer, Dual Layer, Quad Layer i think
Generally is 2 layer in a Dual layer DVD.
A Double Layer or "Dual Layer" drive is able to write two layers of data onto a DVD, effectively doubling the storage space. Be sure to purchase DVD-R media that is approved for dual layer use.

This really depends. This specific capability is usually written out on the specs list of your drive. You can also check the burn speeds list - if anything there has the suffix "DL", that would mean "dual layer" - for example, if it says 8X DVD-R/DL - that means it burns in 8X speed for DVD-R, and also 8X in Dual Layer mode.My DVD burner, an external DVD burner by DIGISTOR(digistor.com) - burns 8X in single layer and 6X in dual layer. Your drive has to specify if it can do dual layer or not. There is no automatic distinction. Check the manufacturer's website or the literature that came with your drive.
Yes it is. At over 5GB of data, Dual Layer is the only way they can save it all on one disk.
