Yes, a drive must be capable of reading dual layer DVD disc





However, its a standard feature for the past few years, at least. If you are to use this DL disc at another computer, as long as it has a working drive that isn't too old, chances are it will work








If you want to read at your own drive, then of course as long as a drive can burn a DL disc, then it can certain read one too.Is a dual layer dvd drive needed to read a dual layer dvd?
If you have a DVD drive the chances are there will be firmware updateds for it that will add dual layer cababilty(its more of a software than that hardware) look on your manufaturers website
