Yep, it has a DVD writer. It'll play standard DVD and write to blank DVD. It does not have a Blu-ray writer/player...so it wont work with that format or hd-DVD

No, it doesn't. I purchased a Samsung Slim Portable DVD Writer and it works great. It wasn't expensive either. Check it out. Good Luck.

No it does not, but it has plug into for a CD/DVD sleeve and plenty of power and plenty of space to store your data! I LOVE MINE!

Yes it has a DVD player. I believe it is DVD burner too. No card reader. Just make sure you update all the drivers.

Yes, it has DVD/cd player/burner. I got rid of mine long ago. Mine was junk from the get go. Thankfully Amazon takes care of their customers and took care of repair bill. I raffled it off asap. I strongly recommend you buy products marked Amazon Prime and, avoid 3rd party sellers until you thoroughly check them out.

No it doesn't. I had to buy an external usb dvd drive to load software. Other than that, the machine works fine.

I assume you mean a "lightscribe" type of DVD? If yes, the answer is no. Just a normal DVD or CD surface in which you can write your information. These are not the type you can burn your information.

I reads CD's and DVD's. I have not tried its writing capabilities but according to the manual it can.

It does not come with a DVD write compatible drive as a standard option. Just read/optical drive and CD writable as others mentioned. The DVD write compatible drive was an upgrade option from Dell.

It is a Blu-Ray reader only and a DVD reader/writer. It can only read Blu-ray discs.
