Hi,

In need of some help in the technical department, as my feather quill just isn't upto scratch these days.... !

I'm trying to suss out the difference in:- CD RW & DVD RW intergrated

Is it a case of the DVD RW writing data to DVD opposed to CD. If this is the case then will the DVD RW also read information on CD's ?

I guess the 'intergrated' means within the machine.

Thanks, in anticipation

    My understanding is that all DVD-RW drives are also by default CD-RW drives, thus a DVD-RW could effectively be described as having an integrated CD-RW drive.

    At least I think that's what you are asking. :o

    DVDs are harder to write to and read from as the information is packed together more tightly. It is easier to write to and read from a CD. That is why most DVD writers can handle CDs. Many DVD writers can handle both +RW and -RW. Some bundled with mass produced PCs don't. The latest DVD writers support dual layer writing aswell.

    Insert blank CD, create playlist in iTunes with songs you want on CD. Right click on playlist and click burn CD. :)
