What is the difference between 2 CD's, one recorded with CD burner and the other with DVD burner? Is one better than the other? Thanks.

I'm not aware of any. A CD burned with a DVD burner is the same. The DVD burner is simply capable of supporting both types of media - CD and DVD. If there is a difference, I'm all ears! :)

I was under the impression that they used different lasers, at least to read them, so I doubt it would make a difference. I don't know for sure though.

I haven't had a cd burner in my rig for quite a while (have 2 dvd burners), and have never noticed any difference in burned cds. They still work the same way in all of the same stuff.
