Hello, does your dvd read DVD RW?

I don't know for sure, but good chance that it does. It seems to play everything. I copied all of our kids DVD's to a media drive then copied those to a 32G USB thumb drive which I use in the headrest. Works great, so far no issues, kids love them.

Be careful what DVD blanks you purchase. DVD+Rs that I recorded only played back on this machine. I was about to try DVD-R when the machine seemed to lose its control logic. Now it does not recognize any DVDs as readable or writable. It is not that old and has been flakey for a while.

Hi, it does burn DVD RW discs. Either + or - RW discs. Please keep in mind that the format we listed are for copying discs. The original disc still need to be formatted to be play on other DVD rom or players in order for the blank discs to be copied. Also, as mentioned by previous user, only non-copy protected discs can be inserted in the master drive to be use for duplication.

Yes when you are in "VR" mode...not "video" recording mode for DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks. I just did it using a -RW formated in VR. RP

Sorry, I have never tried to play a dvd that I recorded myself. It seems like the process should be the same as the motion picture companies use to create dvds so my guess is that the player should read them.

I'm not near the user manual or the device itself right now. I've only used it with DVD-R media. Normally any recorder that handles DVD-R ALSO handles DVD+R media. Don't know about DVD-RW.

No it says no disc or just tries to read the dvd but never does anything my 8 year old portable DVD player still works. I can't believe I spent so much and it just stops working

Don't know what's up with that. Plays my DVDs just fine. If your DVDs are Blue Ray, that might be why. It might not play Blue Ray. My DVDs are not, so again, they play fine. =-)

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

The DVD RW is mostly for movies you would need to get CD r or CD-RW that will determine on what your sources that going to do to recording

I believe it does. I have the silver version of this laptop and it does have a DVD RW drive. If you select the second image on the main page for this laptop and zoom in by selecting the right hand side of the image, you will see there's a DVD logo visible, the logos are exactly what I have on my drive. Check with the Acer website to be sure but I would say it's almost certain that it does have a DVD/CD drive (but don't sue me if it doesn't, do due diligence). :-)PS: I love this laptop and use it in preference to my 20 inch touchscreen PC.

It does, BUT, when you put a DVD into it, IT WONT PLAY THE DVD. You have to take it upon yourself to find some software that will allow you to play it on the laptop, then you have to go into the computer settings and adjust a bunch of settings...it is a pain in the buttowsky.
