Can my G4 use DVD-R disks?

[Vicki Schalin]

Hi!
I have a G4, 500 Mhz, AGP (winter 2000) with a drive that can read 
CDs and read&write to DVD-RAM. I recently tested a DVD-R that a 
friend of mine burnt but that disk wouldn't show at all in the 
finder. It refused to mount.

So, can my computer read any DVD-R at all, or was it just something 
wrong with this disk?

I haven't tested this before because I have never had any DVD-R 
before, just regular DVDs bought in stores.

This is my mac-model:

Thanks in advance!
