My burner is able to read DVD+R quite fine, although burning DVD+R...for the
closing of the DVD...it takes forever.  I thought Toast crashed and thus
threw away like a dozen DVD+R's but I figured I'd let the finalizing just go
and see if it's something that takes a long time and what do you know...it
takes a long time (about an hour just for finalizing).  With DVD-R, burns
fine.  I'm still running 10.3 and haven't upgraded to 10.4.
