anything above and beyond that is just gravy..

I'd still like to have the menu structure on a disc, including chapters etc. Even when dvd's ARE dual layer, they aren't usually much over the 4.3gig mark. I highly doubt you can tell there is any compression if I were to make a 1:1 copy using DVD decrypter/DVD shrink. In fact, I'd put money on you NOT being able to tell the difference unless the compression is higher than say 40% or so, and even then I'd be impressed.

In order to clear this up, this is not 123 Copy DVD's sales pitch, nor from the back of their software. This is a review directly copied from Maximum PC magazine.
Seems to be two programs that do the same thing, but written with two different types of users in mind.

Oh fair enough. Seems like a strange coincidence though.

Dynagod was working with single-layer media, so you can hardly use his experience to prove that 1 to 1 copies are not possible.
Now, to avoid a degeneration into semantics I am conceding right now that even with dual-layer it's not technically a 1 to 1 copy because the css has been stripped out or whatever. But for all intents and purposes, dual-layer media does, in fact, mean 1 to 1 copies without any compression or stripped out features. In fact, with non-copyrighted DVDs it means this literally.

Yes we can and it works nice. However since the format is new, there are problems, worst one being the layer transition pause. On two players that I've tried, it took more than 5 seconds. AND, and and and, if you happen to have a chapter and layer break in the SAME spot, it even stops playing correctly, but there's ways around that.
Obviously DVD-12s and DVD18s are out of the question.
