A Double Play DVD refers to a DVD pack that contains the film on both a DVD and a Blu Ray disc, hence the 'double'. There are also 'Triple Play' packs, which as well as the aforementioned discs, you also receive a digital copy to play on your computer etc.

Although you will be able to play the main film on a standard DVD player (as opposed to only Blu Ray) there may also be a special features disc that is only for Blu Ray. Therefore, it may be worth waiting for a DVD only edition, if you are not considering upgrading to Blu Ray any time soon.

These packs are being used, for example, for the latest Disney films such as Beauty and the Beast, and is presumably an aggressive marketing technique to encourage people to switch to Blu Ray, which is the successor to DVD.

Can you play a double layer DVD in any DVD player?

Unless you have an old, old DVD player, most likely you'll be just fine, since most commercial DVD's on the market are double layer disks. Give it a try. If it doesn't, then it doesn't, but I'd be willing to bet a donut that it will.

How are you watching a DVD?

A DVD-R is a type of disc. It does not contain any data when purchased, and it does not dictate what type of data is put on it. Assuming the data on it can be "watched", you could either put it in a standard DVD player (if burned as a movie DVD) or double-click the files on it on your computer.
