BobMeador Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 The literature says it's a "DVD-R/CD-RW" drive, but Apple System Profiler calls it a DVD-RW. If so - great - because I can do DVD backups and reuse the disks. The model (Pioneer I believe) is a DVR-104. Anyone know whether this is actually a DVD-RW and if Apple (or Retrospect specifically) supports rewriting DVDs on this drive? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 Yes, the Apple SuperDrive is a DVD-RW drive. I don't believe Apple software supports rewrite (yet) but Toast Titanium does. However, Apple software (such as iDVD) can write to DVD-RW discs but you have to trick the software into doing so. There are threads on how to do this in the iDVD forum on Apple's site. I also don't know about Retrospect's support of DVD-RW. I haven't bothered to try since Retrospect only writes at <10 Mb/min with the SuperDrive.

When I bring up Retrospect to backup to the SuperDrive, it only lists it as a CD-R drive. If I pop a DVD blank into the drive, I get an "unable to write" error. Anyone successfully use the SuperDrive to write to DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
