I have a DVD writer, but will it write dual layer ones?

(a) I wouldn't think the hardware would support it, and (b) using the firmware from another drive sounds like a good way to trash your unit.

Yep, this works because alot of the drives on the market share the same inner workings, I know that a lot of Lite On and MSI drives have compatible firmware, I guess that they come off the same production lines.
With regard to dual layer DVD burners I guess the firmware simply activates the ability of the laser to focus onto two layers
