After editing some holiday films which came to just over 6gb I transferred it to a DL disc and as far as I know everything was fine. At the completion of burning the disc was automatically ejected. When I tried to play back the disc I got the error message "disc full" and it refused to play ball. I don't have another DVD player which will take this type of disc. Can anybody explain what might be going wrong?

In MPEG-2? In DV? In iMovie?

In the Finder? In iDVD? In Toast? What settings?

In your set top player? In your mac? What app? Does it mount (do you see it in the finder as a disk)? Did your burning app verify the burn?

Brand of media is critical for DL dusks - - much more so than for SL ones. In my experiance, the only +DL brand that consistently burns and plays right is Verbatim. Memorex, which is probably the most widely available and the cheapest is VERY inconsistant.
Just tonight I burned a 6.5 gb Memorex that pays fine on 3 out of 4 of my Panasonic DVD players (the 4th just doesn't see the disk at all), but my Mac - - the one that burned it - - can only read the first layer. If you try to play through to the 2nd layer or access a chapter there, The Apple DVD player just freezes.
You should probably use just Vertbatims while you're sorting out this problem just to remove that variable.

in case you use iDVD (or Toast) for authoring, encoding and burning your videoDVD:
iDVD cares for length, not size... 120min (=~24GB of tape, your project is about 20minutes?) fit easiely on a 4.4.GB single-layered dvd-r...
and: most dvd standalones don't accept DL -r medias... no wonder.

I burnt a lot of Verbatim-brand DVD+R DL DVDs and never occurred any problem with my old Pioneer DVD player. Last time, I purchased a stack of FujiFilm DVD+R DL media, but playback failed in the middle. I found out those were just FujiFilm RITEK-rebrand media.
My burner is Pioneer DVD-108 (1.18 firmware) and use Toast Titanium 7.0.2.
