Sony’s second generation DVD+RW drive now supports recording of write-once DVD+R discs for optimal 2-way compatibility, with both set-top DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. The new DRU-120A combination DVD+RW/+R/CD-R/RW burner is an ideal replacement for a CD-RW drive as it can record 4.7GB DVD+R/RW discs as well as CD-R/RW discs.

DVD+RW is a rewritable disc with the ability to store more than 2 hours of DVD video or up to 4.7GB of computer data, and DVD+R is a write-once disc with the same capacity and enhanced compatibility with DVD players and computer DVD-ROM drives.

The internal EIDE drive comes complete with DVD authoring software for converting your video footage into DVD or Video CD formats, system backup software, as well as software for mastering CDs and DVDs. DVD+RW discs recorded on this drive may not play back on some older or entry-level DVD systems. DVD+R discs are more compatible for interchange with other DVD systems.
