[Ti] DVD+R and Superdrive

[Ron Woodland]

The word I have is that Panther supports DVD+R is you have a drive that 
has it.  The G5 uses a Sony drive with DVD+R and Panther is supposed to 
give the option when burning a DVD.  I'll be using DVD Studio Pro 2 for 
that, but I expect that iDVD should support that feature as well in 
Panther.  I'm installing Panther on my G5 DP now, but it will be a 
while before I can try this feature.  (I have many files to copy from 
my G4 Quicksilver DP via Firewire before I hand the older, yet still 
useable machine off.)
