DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
My DVD ReWriter says DVD RW R9 on it. Does this mean it will be compatiable with DVD9 discs?
Thank You

Re: DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
I don't suppose you know the model number?
Does it say 'Dual Layer' anywhere on it?

Re: DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
Im not sure of the model number, I can find out in about 1 hour. It is compatible with DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R and DVD+RW.
It is a Packard Bell PC.
That Help?

Well I'm assuming the 'r9' bit DOES mean that it's dual layer - but I think we need the model number to be sure.

Re: DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
Packard Bell's use the NEC DVD reWriters that are usually DVD-R9 Compatible (Dual Layer). If i had my camera i'd show you exactly what he's on about.
Next to the fold down drive bay (slighty above it) next to the spring loaded "doors" to the drives it has white writing saying "DVD RW R9"
I have one myself 
And it's most likely the NEC ND-3500AG model, as PB keep using this fantastic little burner.

Re: DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
Post the serial number off the back of your base unit, and I'll check it for you.

Re: DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
Right Click My Computer, select Properties. Then goto the Hardware tab. Select "Device Manager"
and in the tree, select "DVD/CD-ROM Drives"... Under there your drive should be listed.

Re: DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
Seeing as it says + DL means its not compatable with the newer -DL dvd format that the newest drives are capable of burning so beware you dont get lumbered with these type incidently +DL dvds prices are dropping there as low as £1.35 each if you buy 10 now http://svp.co.uk/products-list.php?bid=0&cid=77

Re: DVD RW R9 - DVD ReWriter
What are high quality ones? A good brand to buy? Are all DVD9 discs "write once only"?
