Can any DVD burner write data to the disc?

No you must have a blu-ray burner. Blu-ray burners will burn DVD's, but not the other way around.

I haven't actually done it, but don't see why you couldn't. You'd have to make sure you got a CDRW drive for it, and then the software to burn with like Roxio or Nero.

You can use pretty much any USB external cd, DVD, or bluray burner or player. The drivers are usually preloaded so there should be no issues.

It comes with a DVD-RW drive which means it will burn and read both DVD's and CD's. However, it does not come with burner software. I suggest the free version of Burnaware: www.burnaware.com.

They work great for just data backups. They will not burn DVD movie backups for some reason I always get a "Burned Failed" error after my DVD burner burns the movie. So I wasted another expensive DVD DL.

I can not answer this question - I regret buying mine and would suggest you return this item if you can. It was a waste of money for me and I do not recommend that anyone buy this product if they need it for burning. The advertising says it will burn but I also did not find the way to burn it - I even re-installed the program but because this item did not come with instructions I did not find the way to burn a disc.

No, for that you need a unit that writes to DVDs. Unfortunately, this unit doesn't do that.

I have used this burner on three different computers. I use Nero to burn all my DVD's. Gene

actually you can burn faster if your DVD writer supports it. I can burn at 6x on my Pioneer drive.

if you mean DVD-RW drive - Yes if you mean Recovery Disc - No recovery is built in and you can burn your own discs

Check the "DVD Recording Compatibility Guide" under "Product Description". If your CD/DVD drive says "DVD" on it you should be able to write pictures to these discs.Note that you can only write to a DVD-R once, so you need to move all the pictures you want on it to it at one time.

I own this device. It can burn to CD's and DVD's (CDR/CDRW/DVDR+-/DVDRW+-, it CANNOT burn to Bluray (BDR/BDRW), but it can READ Bluray discs.

On the front of the drive it says "DVD+R DL." I interpret this to mean a "yes" answer to your question. In spite of what this also implies, I can tell you from experience that it will also handle DVD rewritables. The only thing I noticed when using it was that it wrote quite a bit faster than I expected. I would definitely buy these drives again. One caution, though. This is a SATA drive and cannot be used with an IDE connector. Be sure you have an available SATA port before you spend money for it.

The DVD could be burned as a data disc. It would not be playable on a DVD console player unless it can read and play back native JPG or AVI files.

No. This product is not designed for that. I got this product for my external DVD burner. I'm not sure what else it is used for, but I don't think you can do that.

You can only 'continually record' over DVD ReWritable discs. The RW only mean Read Write. The disc has to say 'Rewritable', also. Usually noted below the DVD+RW or DVD-RW on the front of the disc.
