The main issue is that the only double-layer recordable media available 
on the street is DVD+R DL.
There is some DVD-R DL out there now, but it is not common.
The opposite was true of DVD readers, DVD dash whatever came out first, 
drives that can read DVD plus whatever came later.
So if you have an older DVD reader ( DVD dash only ), it won't read 
DVD+R DL discs.
If it is a stamped, duplicated double-layer disk ( DVD-9 ), _any_ DVD 
reader should work, and should be considered a bug in the reader if it 
doesn't.
