Following up on the earlier suggested URL: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=137761,

=================================
Note that it does indeed mention DVD-R/+R writability and readability, but I read that all too quickly and did not see the "-R" part.
However, after just having flashed my firmware to the new 1.50 version, I noted on my Mac System Profiler that it says "DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL," but nothing about -R DL. So, I really don't know if the DVR-109 will do -R DL on my Mac. Not that it matters much right now, though.
Anyway, sorry if my earlier oversight has mislead anybody.
