Hi there,

My computer has a AOPEN DUW1608/ARR drive for recording DVDs/CDs, and I just bought a 5-pack of Verbatim dual layer DVD-Rs off Amazon. Unfortunately, I've only just found out (after receiving them in the post) that my drive does not read DL DVD-Rs, only DL DVD+Rs.

I've searched for a freeware update, but the most recent one seems to be from two years ago and doesn't cover DL DVD-Rs. Does anyone know a way I can make the drive read (and importantly, record on) the discs, or am I better off just returning them to Amazon and buying a pack of DVD+Rs? I'd rather not fork out money I don't have on a new drive. Any information I could be providing I'm not telling you, please let me know. Thanks.
