Yes, they are. You can burn any type of CD or DVD media in them just fine.

I've also had good luck reading media that had problems in other drives - scratched disks, etc. They are very precise.

I am no expert on this but the OP mentioned DL discs, I wouldn't think that every blu-ray burner can do dual layer writing on a DVD. I think otherwise you are probably correct but if I were buying a Blu-ray burner I would want to see it in writing that it supported writing to CD and DVD, etc. since I think it requires a different laser than the Blu-ray laser. Red vs Blu not just for politics anymore.
