Is TS-H552D a dual layer burner?

[revjeff]

Hi-

I'm new to this kind of stuff and not very computer literate.

The DVD/CD burner in my Gateway computer is a TS-H552D.

Does anyone know if this is a dual layer burner???

I would like to be able to make back-up copies of some DVD-9 discs I have, but was told that in order to burn a DVD-9 disc, I need a dual layer burner.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Jeff

search is your friend......we do have a dvd rewriter section....make sure you're using VERBATIM DUAL LAYER MEDIA....anything but that brand will give you problems such the disc not reading back or playing back correctly...

Thanks, budz.

I did see the DVD rewriter section...and I did see my burner listed.

However, I couldn't tell (and still can't) if it is a dual layer burner or not. I didn't see that piece of information listed. (Unless it's there....and I just don't get it.)

Thanks for the tip on Verbatim Dual Layer media, too.

Note the two DVD listings with "DL" after them.

Per Nero infotool:
DVD +R DL
DVD -/+ R(W)

For DVD -/+R my drive works well with Fuji and TDK, but it works best with verbatim media.
For DVD-RW and DVD+R DL I only use verbatim.

Please note that I have learned from this forum to burn only with imgburn.
