I burnt a DVD+R disk today in my external drive, then realised I wouldn't be able to read it in my internal superdrive. Is the firmware upgradeable somehow to support + disks or would it require a new drive?

Thanks in advance.

SuperDrives can read DVD+R just as easily as -R.

You're probably thinking about the first SuperDrives that could only burn DVD-R and not DVD+R.

Ah. Maybe mine's got a problem then, I put the disk in and nothing happened at all. Hmmm.

But, if I insert a DVD+RW with data on, nothing happens. Toast knows there's a disk in there but does nothing with it.

If I insert a DVD-RW and try to erase it in Toast I get an error straight away, saying incompatible format. Just tried erasing a DVD+RW and it works!. What the f...

So to conclude, I can read DVD-R. But I can't read a DVD+R. I can erase and burn a DVD+RW, but can't do anything with a DVD-RW. This is all bizarre!
