"Go for the burn.
Once you finish your DVD masterpiece, only one step remains. Burning it. Thanks to stellar compatibility, iDVD 6 makes the big burn a painless process.
With support for a wide variety of DVD media formats ? including DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL ? iDVD 6 teams up with a compatible SuperDrive or third-party DVD burner to offer you more media options than ever. You heard right: iDVD lets you burn using compatible third-party DVD burners.
iDVD even lets you archive projects as disc images. Saved this way, your projects are extremely portable and take up less space, and are read-only. What?s more, they?re already encoded, so you can quickly burn them to DVD whenever you have a free moment or a burner handy".

**** Note the 'DVD+R DL'. ****
Does this mean that dual layer 3rd party burners will be supported, burning a dual layer disc?
I've updated to 10.4.4, but my 3rd party Sony DVD RW DW-D26A burner still shows as 'Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)' in System Profiler, the 'Unsupported' referring to dual layer support.
Will iDVD 6 bypass this lack?
Let's see who's first to try the new iDVD 6 out with a 3rd party burner & dual layer disk. I anxiously await the result.
