Just exactly what is required to read these new DVDs?
A DVD drive.
Not to be trite James, but I have an old DVD drive. I'm curious as to whether I'll have to use the CD's to install if my old Sony cannot read the new style DVD.
They aren't new style at all as the dual layered disc format was a part of the DVD specs from the start, and any DVD drive with the DVD logo should be able to easily read them. If the drive can't read them then it is faulty, either through not being compliant with the DVD spec, or because the hardware is broken.
