The current defaults seem sensible for dual-layer DVD's; they won't be sensible
for BluRay or HD-DVD when burners for those formats come out...

[ In the spirit of full disclosure, however, I should mention that I haven't
been able to test dual-layer burning using dvd+rw-tools myself; the only
dual-layer DVD-burner I have available is a SuperDrive in a Mac G5. ]
