Can My DVD Drive Burn Dual Layer (DL) DVD Discs?

Hello everyone.

Under the hardware device manager in Windows XP, my drive shows up as a:

_NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A

I have been burning regular DVD discs and CD discs fine with it.

My question is though, can I burn Dual Layer (DL) DVD dics with this drive. I have no idea how to find out.

Thanks very much for you time. I await any response.

Cheers.

Yes, both + and - DL media at max 6x speed. Some specs says it also should be able to write 8x on + DL media.

Get Nero Infotool from here: http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-infotools.html
and run it. It will show you the capabilities of your drive.
