Can media be written to these disks with a normal DVD burner or is there a special dual layer burner needed?

I use them to copy pictures from my computer. I use a Nero Program- it is simple and easy to use.Rich

You will need to download DVDfab unless you already have another program to copy media.

If your computer has a DVD drive Player/reader you can burn media to a DVD Duel Layer disk.

I am using Mac OS X. I want to burn CD's with images that will play in a DVD player. What format do I need to use for saving the files? JPEG, TIFF, PICT, PDF? Thanks for the input.

Dual layer DVD's are great for making copies of movies. Some of the best copying software is either DVDFAB, or Nero. Dual layer disks can be used for copying dual layer movies, or you can put at least two (2) movies on the same disk.

I don't know what that is, but probably not. I do however, think that regular DVDs can be made...I just haven't had use for that particular thing. I'm sure it's in the description.

J. Tanenbaum's answer is correct -- note that you'll need single layer (4.7G) DVD-R or DVD+R media (NOT rewritable). The software that makes the recovery disks will refuse to write to rewritable media, or to double-layer DVDs.In addition, I think you can go to HP's web site, enter your serial number, and have them ship CD versions of the recovery disks to you for a fee. That's probably a question for their tech support, though.

Yes you can, if those discs are ONLY Lightscribe discs, otherwise the answer is no.

Not as it is, for it lacks an optical drive. You can separately buy an usb DVD burner, as I did.

Thanks for your inquiry, yes this drive can be operated using other software other than Nero.

Thanks Vito, I have one more question mayby you can answer...The specs on this one say..."Store your music, videos, photos and documents with plenty of space to spare SuperMulti 8X DVD+ with Double Layer Support Play and create CDs and DVDs with this DVD/CD burner drive"...I would like to know if this computer is capable of RE- writing DVDs, or can it only burn them once??? or is this function merely dependant on the type of disk used for any computer??? I am so tecno-challenged!!! Can you tell???Thanksjz

You can burn both CDs and DVDs. If you want to use Lightscribe to create your own design on the top face, you will need to use a special CD or DVD that allows it. But if you don't, then there is no limitation in what types of CDs and DVDs you can use.

T.R.MillerAre you saying that you can continually record over DVD+RW (read-write) discs?

Honestly only if you truly desire to write on DVDs you can seek that out. But that technology is old and unnecessary. Flash drives, memory sticks and cloud saving the the current way to share files.

Yes, you should be able, as the drive, I believe, is downward compatible with DVD. Of course, you won't be able to copy anything copy-protected.

These are BD-R discs. Like a DVD-R disc, "write once" is the only option. To rewrite a Blu-ray disc requires the BD-RE format (Blu-ray Disc Recordable Erasable type disc)
