This comes straight from Apple's website in regard to the PowerBook
superdrive:

"Better still, the SuperDrive-equipped PowerBook G4 is compatible across the
board, supporting DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and DVD-R, as well as CD-ROM, CD-Audio,
CD-R, CD-RW, CD Bridge, CD Extended, CD Mixed Mode and Photo CD media."

Don't know if Panther changes any of this - I don't have any DVD+R media to
test it (any more). Shortly after I got my QuickSilver desktop I picked up
two packs of DVD media and didn't pay any attention to the fact that DVD-R
and DVD+R media was mixed together. My computer merely spit out the bad
tasting disk! So I'd expect your notebook will do the same.

You're gonna love the PowerBook - it is a lovely machine.

One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
