Yep, there is. The laser is different (red for DVD, infrared for CD) because the density of the holes in the data layer is different. a CD only consists of a single data layer, a DVD can consist of one (±4.3 GB) or two (±8.6 GB) data layers. A single-layer burner can only burn single layer disks (duh) and a dual-layer burner can burn both types.
