[NBLUG/talk] CD/DVD question

	As I understand it, the 'format' of both a CD ROM and a DVD is
implicit in the writer drive itself. The difference is that more data can
be put on a DVD disc, but the DVD disc itself is 'blank.'

	I *think* a CD disc is the same. Are they otherwise identical? Can
I write data on a CD disc and the same data on a DVD disc using the same
CD R/W drive?

	Is there a DVD writer drive that will work under Linux?
