I have recoded several Sony DVDs (-r). Can I use this drive to go back &amp; put labels on them? Thanks, Gary

You may only etch labels on your Sony DVD-R disks (or any other disks) with this drive (or any other LightScribe drive) if your disks are LightScribe disks. LightScribe disks have a special chemical coating on the label side for image label etching - plus special optical bar codes for positioning the image to be etched (this also allows re-etching the same image to darken it without blurring). Good luck!

I really only use mine for loading software and for burning CDs to archive photos, but I'm perfectly certain that if you burn a DVD on it, it can be played on another DVD player. I own two of these, and the only problem I've had is one occasionally fails to latch closed reliably: it always latches eventually.

I have recorded on Memorex and Maxell DVDs in all different formats (-R, +R, +RW, etc). Have had no problems at all.

I'm not real familiar about all that modern technology stuff, but I have copied DVD's before, on other DVD's, and they do just fine. If I'm not mistaken I have always used the DVDR's to copy onto, but don't know if it was copied from a DVDR though. I really don't think that there would be a problem with it. I just try it and if it works then it works, if it doesn't then you're in the same spot you were in. It might be a good idea to look up the Acumen Disc CD DVD Disc Copier on the computer to see what further details it will tell you about it. I wouldn't want to lead you astray on it, but I am very pleased with the copier. Sometimes if there is a block on the CD/DVD then it won't let you copy it though.

I am not a technical person, but I think that Pat Hunt's description is probably the best answer. Kr9295 is wrong The +R does not mean you can use it again. To re-record on a DVD disc you need + or - RW which stands for ReWritable. I have used +R and -R discs for recording and have not noticed any difference.

I have not tried it on any bd-r discs. I'm sorry but if you have your paperwork you can call them and they will tell you.

I have been able to copy exactly one disc to another. So as a back up yes it will work. Kinda tricky when you first start to use it. It takes a steep learning curve.

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

If you have them on a DVD and want to copy it this would work either on +/- Not sure how the RW format would perform.

I have found that not all dvd players will play back discs made with this device . Pay close attention to the menu setup.

I would say yes. i got a pack of 2 dvd-r disks at the 99cts. store to experiment. it worked. Try it, that's how you find stuff out. dvd-rw - yes

Hi there, DVD-R stands for Recordable. DVD+R stands for Rewritable. +R = you can use again but they cost more. I'm sorry but I have not tried that feature on these.

I have an ~360 CD/DVD Disk Book that I use to keep by "backup files" in. Started with 74/80 min CD-Rs. Then, converted all of them to single layer DVDs (mostly Memorex from Walt-Mart); Now, I'm down to 40 empty slots and thinking about switching to Dual Layer DVDs. So, the short answer is *YES*, you can use 'em for backups.

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

Thanks for your reply Martin....I read that in the manual online also, but I think that section applies nto cd's not dvd's...how can it play each dvd withoyt accessing the menu on each dvd ???...I tried a Toshiba and a Samsung changer and neither worked with dvd's only cd's....
