It should. It burns CDs, that's a fact. I too have used it for this purpose. But I think it depends on the program you're using for the burning as to how efficient it burns. I've used Sony software and burned 96 CDs in bunches of 30s in 3 days. It's not that expensive, so if it doesn't meet your expectations, you could always return it. Frankly, I love mine!

I have not tried DVD's but it worked Burning Cds Slow but did the job. So it would burn DVD's slower. You may want to try something that burns faster but this one works for me. Hope that help.

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.

The specs say it has an "8X DVD-Super Multi Double-Layer Drive." I haven't used the drive yet and it's likely I won't. Maybe a super multi double layer drive can do it all - read/write both cd's and dvd's? I'm not that much of a Techie.

Thanks Vito, I have one more question mayby you can answer...The specs on this one say..."Store your music, videos, photos and documents with plenty of space to spare SuperMulti 8X DVD+ with Double Layer Support Play and create CDs and DVDs with this DVD/CD burner drive"...I would like to know if this computer is capable of RE- writing DVDs, or can it only burn them once??? or is this function merely dependant on the type of disk used for any computer??? I am so tecno-challenged!!! Can you tell???Thanksjz

yes, This Bluray dvd player reads and burns DVD discs. I have a movie burner program for burning dvds, so, if you plan on burning bluray movies , you will have to purchase a bluray movie copy program. Feel free to ask me any more questions, thank you.

It will burn (and play) cd's and dvd's (including dual layer - I burned my first one yesterday). The box states DVD + R SL/DL, DVD + RW/-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R/RW. Hope this helps.

of course it should. It's just like xp feature called the drag and drop. Right click on whatever file you wanna burn, go to send to and then select DVD-Rw drive and it will tell you it's ready to burn.

Yes, it is plugged in when it states " can't read disk". It does it either with or without plug. What is a burnt DVD?

I concur with Gel Man's response. The unit will burn basic DVDs (no Blu-Ray, Dual Layer, etc.). The USB cord that comes with the unit has a single USB connector that plugs into the unit and two USB connectors that must be plugged into the computer in order to provide the USB 5 volt amperage required to power the unit.

Hi Tammy , to the best of my knowledge , no it does not . I need a source dvd and burn from it , or there is a model that has a hard disk built in , I don't know if the model allows you to connect to your computer , may be we have the option to ask the seller in amazon

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

I think your asking if it plays burned or homemade DVDs, like most players it will depend on how fast or slow the DVD was burned. I have not had an issue there but I burn SLOW. I'm very happy with this unit. Price and its online features make it the best bang for buck. Don't even pay for cable tv anymore. It's that good. Well made DVDs won't be a problem..I hope that helps

If you mean can it burn a disc, I don't think so, but then I might have missed something. I have had that unit for some time, and never saw where it had that capability.

It depends on which model you buy. The one I've got burns 7 at one time. It will tell you how many DVDs the unit will burn in the deception.

Wow, that's maddening. Maybe someone could recommend some easy-to-understand DVD burning software that you could try out. Try looking through this list to see what you like: http://www.download.com/sort/3120-20_4-0-1-3.html?qt=DVD+burning&ca;=20

If you look up the model of your burner you should be able to see if it can burn dvd+dl. Or you can remove the drive from the computer and it should say on the label. If you have bought the computer within the past 7-8 years, it should be able to burn them. Though you should be more concerned with the fact that these discs are made by Ume Disc Tech, a third rate disc manufacturer. The media ID of the disc will tell you this. These are horrible discs that I returned because they reported horrible burn scans. They are bottom-of-the-barrell.
