	The waters seem muddy for those who don't know, because SOME CD / DVD drives are in fact capable, while some are not. But the fact that SOME are capable leads people to think that ALL drives must be capable with some software tweak. Some people also think that since iTunes can rip the audio (CD) portion "just fine", that kJams should be able, with the same drive, to read the Video (+G) portion as well. But it's that +G hardware that's NOT built into the drive. eg: Airplanes can drive along the ground. Cars can drive along the ground. That's the CD part. Airplanes can fly (+G), but cars can't.

			Some drives even pretend to be capable of burning, when in fact they're not. By that I mean that when you go to burn a CD+G disc, it gives no error. A drive is supposed to give an error ("DRStatusStateFailed") if it is incapable of burning, yet some drives do not. For these drives the only way to prove they work is to do a test burn, then attempt to play the disc in real karaoke hardware (not a computer).
