You can to burn both, CD and DVD. The burn speed is great I use this function all time.

I have had my VAIO for just over a month, but I do know that this particular machine is especially made to produce Blu-ray DVD's and other top quality productions. So, yes this Sony has a DVD burner. I am very much impressed with my VAIO and highly recommend it.

Yes, it has a DVD/CDR/CDRW/DVDRW combo drive. That means it can play dvds, cds, as well as burn them.

It has a CD/DVD player, but it's not a burner; you can read but can not burn a CD or a DVD.

No, there is no dvd drive. Just buy an external if you need to load something on dvd.

Hi Michael, It has a CD/DVD drive but you probably should check with vendor to find out whether it burns. Otherwise I'm finding it's a very good machine, fast enough and quite robust.

okay, from my experience, you can play DVDs, CDs and burn CDs - I have not yet tried to burn a DVD. It has worked very well for me so far!

To tell you the truth Jay I don't speak technical too well. I have no idea. And it was a gift for a friend, and Friday I checked to see if she had it set up yet, and she said Not YET.My computer is about the same as this one - also a DELL. There is a DVD reader but I don't know anything more than what the description gives us,, and that mine works okay. If you want to email me and explain exactly what you are looking for, please feel free.

Honestly I can't tell you I have no use for the disc player however there are programs to burn bluray for free if you have the appropriate disc,Screen works now after restarting a few times

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

It's a BD-RE drive. This plays both DVD discs and Blu-ray discs, can burn to DVD-R's, and can make an .ISO from a Blu-ray, but cannot burn to a BD-R.

Having looked up and looked at the spec sheet for your machine it appears to be and older IDE type of interface so the Samsung will work. It is NOT a DVD burner it is read only. You can watch DVDs and listen to and store music and data. You can access video files that you have stored using third party software like VLC media player but I repeat, you cannot "Burn" DVDs.

The one I purchased was a gift for a family member. This does burn and copy DVDs but requires an external usb thumb drive to give it enough memory to do so. Hope that helps.

Yes Larry, i bought mine about 3 mnths ago, has a dvd/cd writer/player drive. Definitely a good bang for the buck in my opinion.

It reads and burns as advertized. It is a solid and reliable drive. I have installed about 20 of them in my classroom's computers. I'm not sure what you mean by scans as it would apply to an optical drive. I have never heard that term used with DVD drives but since I have been teaching computer repair since the days of the TRS-80 I have learned there are a lot of things that turn up new to me.

Any kind.. it comes with a Blu-Ray Reader and DVD RE-Writer Reader, which means it plays Blu-ray and DVD media and can burn blank DVD media.

Hi Boppy, this computer is advertised with DVD/CD-RW drive which is DVD read only. It burns and reads CDs. But we can gladly install a DVD burner at no extra cost if you place your order with us and email us with your request. Thank you for your interest,
