It plays DVDs but I haven't burn CDs or DVDs yet. The machine I got comes with XP operating system with Roxio CD burning software. I hope that helps.

It appears that this DVD player will not support Windows files: http://www.hhgregg.com/toshiba-progressive-scan-dvd-player/item/SD4300 -

You can use DVD+R discs. There is no real difference between DVD+R and DVD-R essentially they are the same. Yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

No. It does not. No netbook can play dvd's for the fact that they don't contain a drive.

I'm sorry; I haven't tried playing DVD's recorded with a computer DVD + RW.

yes it does...I didn't install the software. I just let win7 find the hardware and it works fine. didn't need more stuff I won't use.you might need to install the disk if u want to get 24x burn speed ? but I use imgburn to burn and it works fine at 16x [verbatim dvd+R blanks]

The format recorded is avi which can easily burned into DVD using any DVD maker software. Refer to the software manufacturer for more help. I used windows 7 media player. It's free

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

No, you'll need a PC to have any functionality. It's a simple external DVD "Drive" and not a "player" of any sorts.

Not 100% sure as I never tried, but it does have a DVD drive, so I assume if you have the right software you could.

It will play DVD's. . .but has no floppy. I bought a plug in floppy which works pretty good. For the price, its a fairly good computer. I bought it for my office data storage. Couldn't be the price. My local Dell refurb shop would have sold it for $ 400+.

My acer aspire model AOA 150 1178 came with windows 8.1 For making movies I searched and found Microsoft movie maker. It did not came pre-installed, but available for free download from Microsoft. But burning CD is a problem. First this laptop does not come with DVD player. You need to buy external DVD player. Second, software which was on Win 7 is gone. For win 8.1 you need to buy something like Nero.

Yes, that is a software issue as ths does not have a buit in DVD Player. Your PC DVD software player handles this issue. THey player will play any DVD's.

As shipped this machine has a DVD drive that will play a CD but not record one.

No, it is a 'standard' drive which works correctly with native Windows drivers. Any program which works with other internal DVD drives will work with this one.

I've had bad luck trying to install from a usb drive, had to use the original dvd. Another possiblility is occasionally windows 7 does not have the correct ahci/raid drivers, but it should ask for them if needed.
