Hi,
I have a problem with my optical drive where it does not burn dvd's but burns cd's fine.
Also is there a cheaper alternative if I have to replace the drive.
Thanks

Is there an error message?
How old is your MBP?

Cheaper option is to buy a cheap external DVD burner, instead of the expensive internal Superdrive.

A1212 = 2,1 from late '06

Have you tried different media?

Can it read DVDs?
