    Question DVD-R and CD-Rom

    I have heard that you can use a DVD-R in a regual CD burner as a 4.7GB....

    Can anyone confirm this rumor???

    Thanks

    Not true.

    You cannot burn DVD-Rs on a CD Burner. Its a totally different technology. It would be like making CDs on a tape recorder...

    If that were true it wouldn't be a DVD-R it would be a CD-R capable of 4.7GB. What's the point of DVD if your cd-r is capable of this?

    Well, the thing is you have a 4.7GB support, but of course can't create a DVD...
    ...honestly I have a guy that is doing so: he does not have a DVD-R that's for sure! This drive he uses doesn't even play DVD.

    I am getting so confused.

    But thanks anyway for your thoughts.

    No You can't.
    The Pioneer A03 DVD-R/RW burner can read all the CD-Rom-R-RW like any other DVD and also Burn CD-R and CD-RW. That is what you have probably herd.

    Trully a Combo.
    Price at the 500$ range
