Got a couple of DVD players on my PC. One is almost 3 yrs old, the other (replaced a broken CD) is barely 6 mths old. I've no idea of the brand (could take the cover off, but...)

Dad asks if it will play DVD-RAM, if so he'll send out a load of discs for me to watch.

Apart from trying to play one, what's the easiest way to find out if mine can play DVD-RAM?

Many thanks

take the drive out and check the manufacturer/model, then search the web what it support.

press windows key then Break
OR
right-click MyComputer and then click properties

THEN
hit the Hardware tab
then click the Device Manager button

THEN
expand the CD/DVD-ROM drives bit

et voila- it should tell you the manfacturer and model of each of your DVD drives!

then do as above and type it into google and see what you get up

Chris - perfecto, many thanks!

I found that both are Samsung, looks like the old reader does read DVD-RAM, but the new DVD burner doesn't.

Will give it a go!
