DVD/W lens the same as DVD/RW lens?

[shouldberunning]

Hey guys. Having a bummer of a time trying to get my Super Drive to write to ANY brand or at ANY speed using ANY software. However re-writable discs work fine? Could it be they're different lens's?

Thanks

Forgot the error message, here it is;
The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022).
