As Ian said, check:

for the media and:

http://www.storagereview.com

for info on free shipping.

The media is ridiculously expensive though, though it is Verbatim, but unless you really need to save storage space or something, I wouldn't even consider DS DVD-R media... You'll be paying 55% more per GB of storage space...

Is "double sided" meant the same here as "dual layer"? Is there a way to burn a dual layer (9.4 Gig) DVD as the movie studios do?

No to both questions.
