Contrary to Knowledge Base Document 42718, which states that the 
SuperDrive can use DVD-RW and that Toast will burn DVD-RW, the 
SuperDrive model in the new 12" PowerBook cannot do so. Tech support 
finally got me an answer from engineering and the document will be 
updated at some point. The 12" SuperDrive model is a Matshita DVD-R 
UJ-815 which does nothing but eject blank DVD-RW media. I have no idea 
about the SuperDrive in the 15" or 17" models.

Just wanted to let people know before they go out and buy -RW media 
like I did :)
