The model number...LTC-48161.....when using a Yahoo lookup indicates that his drive is a DVD-ROM reader and CD-R/RW drive. NOT a DVD burner. 48X CD-R and 16X DVD read speed. If so, then this isn't hot......sorry!

does this support dvd+ and dvd-r?

BASED on the model number, it will probably READ both of them...but will BURN neither...as it appears to be a reader...not a writer (in DVD terms anyway)!

funny... I knew this was the combo drive, not the burner... with 110% guarantee and $20 coupon at OD, it's not a flaming deal but a good deal nontheless..

But word though... Target will have some angry customers...

Yes..it reads them (notice the single/dual layer....i.e. READS those type of Disks as Dual layer BURNERS, while they exsist, aren't available to the general public just yet). I think Target is screwed up.

BUTCH1 · Jan 4, 2004

" It can write DVD media at 4x and CD media at 40x speeds, rewrite DVD at 4x and CD-RW at 24x speeds, and read DVD at 12x and CD-ROM at 40x speeds."

from the ad at Target...

yodayoda · Jan 4, 2004

this is a +R only drive, it is not the dual format version. sorry.

weepul · Jan 4, 2004

i agree, there are going to be angry shoppers when they dont receive a dvd burner.

ton · Jan 4, 2004

Yup. Not a dvd-burner. Look at the ASIN and it matches here:

Corporate Thug · Jan 4, 2004

what are u guys talking about?

under features it clearly says 4x DVD writing

LLLosingit · Jan 4, 2004

If you do a search using the model number target has posted at the top of the page you will find it's a combo drive (DVD Reader/CDRW)

BadSweetums · Jan 4, 2004

It looks like the web ad composer compiled the ad without understanding the differences between LiteOn's various DVD drives.

The model number is definitely a 48x cd-rw/16x DVD combo drive. No DVD writing capability.

The picture and ad copy look like one of LiteOn's DVD-RW drives. I think the ad copy is for the LDW-401S because there is no mention of dual, as in dual format.

Specs For most LiteOn Drives

ZipZoomFly's LTC-48161H $54 shipped listing

ZipZoomFly's LTW-401S $105 shipped listing

ZipZoomFly shows the retail boxes and their LTW-401S box looks just like the Target LTC-48161 box.

I might check the shelf at my local Target but I will not bother ordering online. The shipping department probably knows exactly what they should fulfill our orders with.

flashbak · Jan 4, 2004

Ordered one and then noticed the thread discrepancy about it not being a DVD burner. Within 10 minutes went back online to cancel the order (BTW Lite-On website confirmed this is not a DVD burner) but even though my order was 10 minutes on and hadn't shipped I never got the option to cancel it. I then called their 800 number and was told I'll just have to refuse the shipment when it arrives. What bull is this? Trying to cancel your order within 10 minutes of placing it isn't possible! Anyway, I told the guest service representative about the discrepany and she noted it stating that one other person had called about it and she said the ad states that it is a DVD burner.
