The DVD transcoding software industry is not out of business, even though the double layer drives are slowly penetrating the market and increasing the capacity of a recordable DVD.
InterVideo has demonstraded an updated DVD Copy v2 version with DVD+R DL support. The new version features 25% faster encoder speed and adds a Multiple DVD Merging feature. This enables the users to squeeze multiple videos on a single disc. This is especially useful for DVD+R DL as the increased capacity can store two full length movie titles with decent video quality.
