[G4] Can my G4 use DVD-R disks?

[David Crandon]

Apple first introduced a recordable DVD-RAM drive in the AGP lineup.
This is not the same as today's Superdrive which uses DVD-R and DVD-RW disks.

Many older (even just a couple of years) CD drives (auto's, audio and
computer) will have problems playing CD-RW's. Your drive may play some
DVD-RW's or it may not play them at all.

If I'm not mistaken it has to do with the type of reflectivity of the
CD-RW material being different than CD-R material and not being able to
read it properly.
