Apple provided software (Disc Burner or Disk Copy) does not support 
multiple session burning of any kind; you have to get Toast for 
multiple session burning to CD-R/RW.  I don't know if Toast does 
multiple session DVD burning (DVD-R or DVD-RW) though.  Anyone??

This kbase article talks about the specifications and usage info for 
CD-RW, DVD and SuperDrive.
