If it did burn DL discs, it should show something like this:



DVD-Write: -R, -RAM, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL



That's what my LG multi-drive shows. The Apple site says it supports DL discs though so it must do. Perhaps it's just reporting it wrong.

Thanks marvin.



I guess it reads DL discs but NOT writes them. I need to check it out.

I think the only first generation Macbook/Pro that burned DL DVDs was the 17".



(First generation being Core Duo)
