• According to a report, Apple's external DVD drive is experiencing issues with disc burning. The drive, known as the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, is designed to connect to Apple's newer MacBook models that lack traditional USB-A ports. However, users have reported that the drive is "up-burning" discs, rendering them unusable.

• The report suggests that the issue may be related to the adapter's design, which combines multiple functions, including HDMI output, USB-C charging, and DVD playback, into a single dongle. This compact design may be causing compatibility problems or overheating, leading to the disc-burning problems.

• Apple has not yet acknowledged the issue or provided a solution. Users who rely on the external DVD drive for tasks such as software installation, data backup, or media playback may be impacted by this problem. The report recommends that affected users consider alternative DVD drive options or seek assistance from Apple support if they encounter similar issues with their USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.
