A dual layer DVD It has twice the capacity of a normal DVD.

Dual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per disc, compared with 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL

I think wiki says it best ;P Though the problem with dual layer is compatability. Most DVD Players have a hard time reading them. Personally, I have never had a need for anything over the standard single layer disk(4.7G)

*edit*
