Your drive is an LG that is more or less universal, in that it burns -r, -rw, +r, +rw and RAM formats. It also handles dual-layer versions of both DVD types

my dvd burner dont say anything about dvd r dl but it still burns games for me i think any dvd burner works for dual layer dvds

I already knew mine could but you could download a program could Everest by lavalys. This breaks the specification of your computer down individually, on here it can tell you what disks your drive supports. I'm sure there is an easier way but I find this to be a handy program when fixing friends computers etc.

Hope this helps!
