17" MacBook Pro burns DVD-R DL?

[infernohellion]

Hey guys,

I and my dad bought two 17" MBP and we're very happy about it. But what I am currently arguing so badly with my dad is whether the 17" MBP really burns DVD-R DL?

It doesn't say anything accept it burns DVD+R DL. I tried searching through the internet, some website mentioned about burning DVD-R DL but some only say that it burns DVD+R DL.

I haven't really have a chance to try buying the DVD-R DL discs to try it myself. So if any of you guys have tried or known whether it really does, please help me!

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it does, but how would I know?

We know, but as it said in my former post, Apples specs page does not confirm its ability to burn DVD-R DL. And BTW imacintel, it does not burn RW DL.

I bought a pack of 5 DVD -R DL discs a couple of weeks ago and I can vouch that my 17" MBP will NOT burn them... I at first thought that my Superdrive wasn't working but after buying some +R DL discs all was fine. So that was £30 thrown down the drain for me.....

I just printed out the Tech Overview for fun and got this.

You still can! You just have to buy DVD+R DL instead of DVD-R DL.
