I don't think he is necessarily out of luck.  While the resulting files
may be larger there are different techniques for reducing the overall
size.  I have taken movies, pressed on DL DVD's (9GB) and transferred
them SL DVD(4.5GB).  Yes, the quality slightly degraded and I wouldn't
watch it on a screen larger than 26"....but without taking the time and
effort I would not rule out success. 

While my DVD writer is DL capable...I've not used it since the cost of
media is more than I'm willing to pay.  The OP seems to be OK with using DL.
