Hmm, that does sound odd... No data DVDs? Just video? Well, I didn't even know 
about DVDs 6 years ago, lol, so I wasn't aware that there was a difference 
between video DVDs and data DVDs (as far as drive capabilities go, that 
is)... 

Anyway, I would still try to burn a single-session data DVD at 1x and see if 
the Toshiba drive would read it. You know, just for fun.
