G'day Brian.
I've installed a SONY dual layer DVD RW DW-D26A in my G5 with Tiger,
and it was seen without Patchburn.
However, it's classed as 'unsupported' as a dual layer burner.
SONY DVD RW DW-D26A:
Firmware Revision: JYS1
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)
Profile Path: None
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: No
I understand that if I want to use it as a dual layer burner I need
Toast
Regards
Santa

In a few days somethign new should be arriving- a SONY DUAL LAYER
DWQ30A 16X DVD Burner. I would like to use this burner with iDVD
4.0.1. IF there is a new iLife version out by macworld, I'll most
likely get it, but before then I have a few DVDs to burn.
Therefore, the first thing I'd like to ask about is what will I
need to do to use iDVD with the new burner? I assume that since
this is a third party drive, that it will not be seen as a
superdrive, even when plugged in.
Second, do I need to go through the whole 5-6 step process of
encoding, etc etc when I burn a playable DVD? Could I simply copy
the contents of a DVD I already burned to a blank DVD?
Any machine I would use this on would be running the latest version
of Tiger.
TiA,

And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this......
Existence that multiplied itself
For sheer delight of being
And plunged with numberless trillions of forms
So that it might
find
itself
innumerably
