Exactly.  Depends on his model.  Some had drives that, from the manufacture,
could do dual-layer discs but Apple's firmware crippled the functionality
for dual-layer.  One could flash the drive and return it to it's manufacture
specs.  The only ones that had the dual-layer functionality from Apple were
the last models, the 1.67 hi.res.  After that, with the Macbook Pro, they
all the dual-layer functionality.   If he cks his system profiler, he can
determine the model of his book and the drive and see what formats it
supports.
