[MacDV] IDVDx for dual layer DVD burning in G5

[Gerhard]

Actually Toast and iPhoto do burn to dual layer disks.  I have only 
done it with data not video, I backed up a portion of my photo library 
6.5 GB straight out of iPhoto to my external LaCie drive and it 
recognized the available space correctly and burned with no problem.  
It is slower than a single layer disk but worked without a hick-up.
