I don't have an answer to your question because unless you consider 10,000 to be a small run, you're probably outta luck.

Have you considered making your own copies? Dual layer burners (internal) are less than $50, and the program to burn disks with -- Roxio Toast -- is about $69 or so.

You can print directly on DVDs with an Epson Stylus Photo R220 -- about $100.

Need to design your own DVD labels -- try a free trial of Discus from magicmouse.com. Buy the program for about $40.

Buy a pack of matte DVD case inserts, use Discus to design the case covers, then print them in color with the R220.

Given the extra hassle and cost of dual layer have you thought of giving them 2 single layer discs?

Marketingwise it can be quite good - give people two shiny discs rather than one and most assume they're getting twice the value.
