Question

If a DVD player can play content off of a DVD-RW, does that mean it can also record to it?

Answer 1

NO.  a player will play the disk only. You would need a burner that will burn that specific format and then it will do both.

Answer 2

i  dont no this

Answer 3

Look at the tray of any disc player.  You will see a series of letters that will start with CD or DVD.  If they are followed by R/RW they can write "record" to that format, if not, then they are ROM (read only).
