Many of the DVD burning programs actually re-encode the video so that it will fit an entire movie on a single-layer disc. Quality obviously suffers and is not the equal to what's on the DVD. However, many people don't mind the loss in quality.Other programs will allow you copy bit-for-bit (more or less) what's on the original DVD. But since most movies take up more space than what's available on a single-layer DVD, you have to spread the material over 2 (or sometimes 3) discs.
With a dual-layer recordable disc, you can now fit a regular DVD on a recordable DVD. The question, though, is if the vast majority of current and past copy programs will recognize a dual-layer disc format. Some of them may have to be updated to deal with the new recordable format. Progress usually comes with a catch.
