AFAIK all DVD drives do double-layer, as double-layer DVDs were
invented right at the start.

DVD recordable discs supporting this technology are backward
compatible with most existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives.
Many current DVD recorders support dual-layer technology, and the
price point is comparable to that of single-layer drives, though
the blank media remains significantly more expensive. Currently
the technology has severe problems with compatibility in DVD
players. Dual Layer Drives will work with Regular DVD-R drives.
