I have had it reading from cd's and dvd's, I have yet to burn from it
though. But it will not recognise a particular dual layer dvd+ I have
burned. It just spits it out. It also spits out a blank disc of the
same kind.
Odd. Have you tried cleaning the drive?
Check the drive's capabilities in System Profiler. Make sure the OS
knows it does DL.
I have read elsewhere that apple recommend TDK. Have I read correctly,
that these drives are fussy and only like certain brands of disc?
Not in my experience.
But then I've had many drives (on various machines) reject cheap media.
