Yes.
Yes, the drive can. Everything else depends on your disc writing software.
There would be no point in making a consumer DVD burning drive that cannot read discs like a regular drive.
YESThat should be "NO". You can check if your drive is a dual layer burner by looking at the symbols on the side of the Drive. If a drive is able to burn Dvd-9 (Duel Layer DVD), it will have R or RW with a 'DL' after it.I followed the previous answer and found out my drive could not write the discs correctly.
The purpose of a DVD drive is to read and write CD's and DVD's. If the drive also has rewriting capability, it can also burn CD's and DVD's.
Maybe. Dual layers just means it can read 2 layers of a disc.
This really depends. This specific capability is usually written out on the specs list of your drive. You can also check the burn speeds list - if anything there has the suffix "DL", that would mean "dual layer" - for example, if it says 8X DVD-R/DL - that means it burns in 8X speed for DVD-R, and also 8X in Dual Layer mode.My DVD burner, an external DVD burner by DIGISTOR(digistor.com) - burns 8X in single layer and 6X in dual layer. Your drive has to specify if it can do dual layer or not. There is no automatic distinction. Check the manufacturer's website or the literature that came with your drive.
A burn that only affects the first layer of skin is called a first degree burn.
yes my DVD drive can burn
From toshiba's website on a Satellite laptop specs: DVD-SuperMulti drive (+/-R double layer) supporting up to 11 fomats
A DVD RW drive can only burn to a DVD R DL disk if it is labeled as having that capability. If your drive has a DL label, it is dual-layer capable. If you still can't tell, you can download a free software called "VSO Inspector" to give you this information about your drive.
If you're trying to burn to a Dual Layer DVD, you need a DL DVD Writable drive.
