Hey,
Can a CD burner that is also a DVD-ROM (not a DVD burner) read a DVD data disc? I am sending music to a friend and figured I could put a ton more on a DVD, but I'm not sure if he will be able to read the data...
It should, but some DVD-ROM drives are not compatible with some discs (+, -, RAM, whatever brand for whatever reason).
So, it's kind of a crap-shoot depending on the media and the drive compatibility?
Yeah, but unless his drive is really old, I'd say you're fine.
Sounds good. Thanks... +T
generally the compatibility issues only exist on the write side (i.e. some drives will only write dvd-r but will not write dvd+r). Reading is rarely a problem
