    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)
