Will a CDRW/DVD burn DVDs?

I recently purchased a camcorder that records on the little DVD-R.  I am under the impression that I should be able to copy the DVDs.  I have the software AnyDVD as well as Clone DVD2 in insure that I could copy the DVDs.  It's not working.  Is a CDW/DVD a only an audio cd burner or should I be able to copy my DVDs from my new handcam?
 
Please help!!!

    From the description you give, it sounds like it cannot burn DVD media.
    Look in the Device Manager and post the Brand and Model of drive and
    and we will look it up for you.

    You can certainly purchase an internal DVD burner which by the way will also burn CDRs.

    I suggest if you got down this avenue then you get your drive from somewhere like newegg.com as it will be cheaper than getting it from Dell. The single advantage in getting from Dell is that the faceplate of the drive will perfectly matched the contours of your laptop.

    Sony CDRW/DVD CRX830E

     

    Thanks for any help.  If not, can you purchase just the DVD burner to go in the laptop from Dell?

    The SONY CRX830E 24X Slim Combo Drive is not capable of burning
    DVD media.  Follow bacillus' advice for purchasing a DVD burner.
