| 595589 | 2007-09-27 07:54:00 | I am going to replace my CD burner with a DVD burner. If I follow this correctly a CDR Writer with DVD Rom will still only burn CD's but will play & read DVD's. Whereas a say "Dual Layer DVD Writer" will read write & burn both CD's & DVD's Have I got this right? Yes I have just arrived into the 21st century!!!!! | amyes5 (2773) | ||

If on the other hand, you brought a standard DVD burner (not dual layer), it'll do all of the above, except burn to dual layer blank DVD's. |
