>DVD-RW works fine for recording data but iDVD used to reject them. I readsome hints on how to get iDVD to accept them but never tried it (look at http://www.macosxhints.com/ ) and I seem to recall someone claiming the problem no longer exists but I wouldn't swear to that.
Hmmm, I bought some CompUSA branded DVD-RWs and after trying 4 disks I came to the conclusion that my TiBk 1GHz SuperDrive didn't support writing to them (although the specs says it should). So my question is, was that just a case of low-quality, (virtually) generic media? Or something else? Covert settings? Faulty SD? Sunspots?

The original TiBook 1GHz superdrive is NOT supposed to work with DVD-RW (only DVD-R).
I have one.
There is an unsupported, do-it-at-your-own-risk firmware upgrade which, in principle, allows you to do two things: double the burning speed for supported media (DVD-R at 2x, CD-R at 16x, CD-RW at 8x) and also burn to DVD-RW (at 1x). I did that and can do the first of those happily.
Burning to DVD-RW is still not working great. Some burn, but give problems later, some give burning errors. I have been told that writing something to a DVD-RW on a different drive and then erasing it makes it work ok, but I have no other machine (mac or pc) that can write to DVD-RW, so I have no way of testing this claim.
