Copying DVD' s to DVD-R media using a cd writer...read in...

Hi all, read the article below, Could this be possible or is it just someone hoaxing..

"A friend just today told me about something pretty amazing. It seems he's been burning fully functional DVD's with his CD-R drive. Here's the info:

He's got a Yamaha CD-R and a DVD-ROM (reader, not writer) in his PC. He uses the newest Nero (with DVD-copy enabled in "expert mode" settings). When the wizard comes up, he chooses to copy the DVD from the DVD reader to the CD-R
writer. He uses standard blank DVD-R's in his CD-R drive, and starts burning.
He has told me that there have been NO problems getting his CD-R dirve to copy a DVD onto DVD-R media!!

I have yet to test this, but does anyone know if this could be possible?! This guy would not be lying to me, and he says eveyr copy he's made so far works great. This is not DIVX or VCD we're talking about, it's actually using your CD-R drive to write as a DVD-R drive!!

I will try to confirm with a few other drive types, as I find it hard to
believe! If anyone has any comments - please let me know.

This will be some job if it works, but sounds a bit to good to be true."
