Can you burn a CDR on a DVD-RW Drive?

I searched the forums and couldn't find....

I have this really dumb question, but I'm about to buy a DVD RW and I want to know...you CAN burn a CDR on a DVD-RW drive right? I have a CDRW/DVD ROM drive which I'm changing to a DVD-RW drive and I also have a PILE of CDRs. I just wanted to know that I CAN burn to these disks. Intuitively I'm already saying yes. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you.

Hi
Welcome onboard steveturner.
Yes you will be able to burn CDRs on a DVDRW.
However some are better than others.
So it might pay to list the model(s) that you are interested in.
To get what's best for you.

Most of the brand name CDRs I find are CMC, an average quality. You can use CDSpeed to find out the ID of your CDRs. Also, I find these are pretty good when burned at 20X or slower.
