A CD burner, which connects to your computer can play and create CDs. DVD burners are a bit more advanced than CD burners and it can do both play and create CDs and DVDs. With a burner, discs are loaded and unloaded through a sliding tray, and they are able to read using a laser, just like in your CD or DVD player. The laser shines on the reflective inner layer of a disc, detecting differences that are attractive to represent data. A burner's laser can also create or burn these data marks.
Both burners use a few different kinds of discs, each for a slightly different task. A DVD burner can read CD-ROMs, like a store-bought music CD, and DVD-Videos. A DVD burner can also read and write data on a CD-R disc the R stands for recordable as well as on DVD-R and DVD+R discs. Additionally, most CD and DVD burners can also read and write data on rewritable discs, which you can rewrite over and over again; a rewritable CD is referred to as a CD-RW, and rewritable DVDs come in a few formats, including DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM.
