question about cd burner

[cable]

My apologies if I sound ignorant but can I use my regular cd-rom to burn my cds on or do I need a special kind of cd-rom for this?

Hello,

I try to help a bit:
* A CD-Rom is able to read cd's only.
* You need a CD writter to burn cd's.
* A CD-rom cannot read (apparently except in very punctual expceptions), discs in DVD format.
* A DVD device can read DVD and CD-Rom formats.
* A DVD writer is the only option to write DVD discs.

Hope it helps,

Herrn
