I purchased this a replacement dvd rom drive for my old laptop. This drive can read DVD -R/RW but does not record them. Hope this helps.

Yes, I believe it accepts all DVD's, including RW and MDisc for permanent archival copies. I have not had a disc rejected yet. It's a great little machine.

That was exactly what I tried to use, a dvd-r uncopyrighted home movie, and it did NOT work. I tried a variation of brands and discs, but nothing would work. I went through about 30 discs before I gave up. And this unit was a nightmare to return.

very simple Sony dvd+rw's are packaged in green. DVD-rw's are packaged in red. Here's the thing amazon is inarguably the best site on the net. With the hundreds of thousands of products they provide the can't monitor every one to the letter or punctuation mark. Take your time when you order. They have the best customer service on the planet. I've spent thousands of dollars & hundreds of orders. There spot on,no worries!

No, it does not. That surprised me. I then bought an external DVD R/W to use with it.

For some reason...no. It has a DVD-RW drive. Good question that most people may overlook. It should either say "Blu-Ray (or BD) Burner" or "BD-RW (ReWritable)." If you're not looking to write to blu-ray, it should say "BD-ROM" or just "Blu-Ray drive."

It's DVD-R format. It works fine with my recorder/writer, I hope it'll work fine for you, too.

Hi, supported playable disc are: DVD, DVD+RW/+R/+R DL (+VR mode), DVD-RW/-R/-R DL (VR mode/video mode), Music CD/Super VCD, CD-R/-RW. Your DVD-R will work on this unit as long as it contains supported files like mp3 or jpeg. -Ely

I have used both DVD-R and DVD+R as blnaks. I have not tried DVDRW but I ddon't see why that wouldn't work.

It's a different format. I use +. I can make data discs for my computer, or a DVD (Video_TS) for my DVD player on the TV.

I have recorded on Memorex and Maxell DVDs in all different formats (-R, +R, +RW, etc). Have had no problems at all.

If you have them on a DVD and want to copy it this would work either on +/- Not sure how the RW format would perform.

Optical Drive Mystery: Why do some owners/reviewers of this laptop say they wish it had an optical drive when one is listed in the specs provided by Amazon? The specs say DVD-RW. Strange huh?
