<strong>Can the superdrive READ [i know it can only WRITE one side/one layer] dual layer or dual sided DVD's or BOTH?
thanks !</strong><hr></blockquote>
Mine can! I assume you mean just a standard dual layer DVD like say a Motion picture??? The only difference between Superdrive and say just a std DVD is that Superdrive can burn DVD's therefore it does not have a problem with reading dual layer/double sided disks etc
<strong>The player doesn't care whether the disk is two-sided.... you still have to flip it over to play the other side.
And as others said above, any DVD player will play dual-layer discs.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I think he was asking if the player could read BOTH sides without having to flip it over. It would be nice if it could, but that means either two lasers or a lot more space in order to flip it.

It can read most all DVD discs and can even read and write to DVDRW (though Apple doesn't "support" this function).
The Superdrive is basically Pioneer DVR 104 which is available comercially, firmware support is the key.

yes
