If the player did not have functions built in for recording the drive is 
probably just a reader, no
write capability.

It my reach a point where it makes more economic sense for the 
manufacturers to only create
RW drives than it does for them to have 2 production lines, but don't 
know if we are there yet,
much less if we were there when your player was manufactured.

Also I expect it's more likely that the player would have a laptop style 
drive in it which would
require an adapter to handle the different size of SATA data/power 
connectors if you are looking
to use it in a desktop system.

If the system you are looking to use it in is a laptop, then newer 
laptops that still include an
optical drive have gone to thinner drives. Outside of that it's a 
question of how things line up.
The piece that secures the drive to the laptop could probably be swapped 
with the piece off
of the old drive if necessary or left off if the drive fits tight enough 
if really necessary. The face
plate is less likely the match up between the two drives, especially 
between a DVD drive and a
Blue Ray drive.
