"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.

You can always burn a dual-layer disk image (DMG/ISO) and burn that, if you can't do it directly from iDVD.

Jobs during the keynote said "we now support third party DVD burners" and had that line on one of his slides.
