usually in the technical spec for the computer you can find which formats it can read... but my guess is that it can read the common DVD formats available on the market today...

A combo drive generally reads all kinds of dvds. I think the types are DVD+R and DVD-R, depending on what kind of burner was used to burn it. (I'm not sure though). Generally, if it is called a cobo drive it will burn cds and cdrw etc, and read all dvds (including double-layer).
