Toast?
Authored by: russh on Mar 24, '02 12:17:44PM

I haven't tried using the SuperDrive on a DVD-RW either. But I've scattered reports of success with DVD-RW using Toast. I'd love to get some more conclusive confirmation on this prior to springing for (and possibly ruining) a DVD-RW.

Anybody else tried it yet?

I have been using my DVD-RW media on the superdrive with Toast 5.1.1 for quite a while to test out DVD's before wasting money on discs that cant be replaced. So far I haven't tried iDVD, but I have been able to make DVD-RW's that play in my trusty DVD player. I guess thats all I really need.

I tried DVD-RW in iDVD. It work ! However, you have to insert a blank DVD-R first. After checking (while the program is preparing the data), open the DVD-R door by pressing the eject key on the keyboard. Replace the DVD-R with a DVD-RW. It works smoothly.

Toast 5.12, you can use it as DVD-RW as CDRW.

It does indeed work with Toast though not in the way I used to use CD-RWs in OS9. This may be an obvious point to people, but may save some confusion. Using Roxio's DirectCD in OS9, it was possible to use a CD-RW like a removable volume, i.e. files could be added and deleted individually. With OSX, the entire disk must be deleted and re-burned using Toast each time you wish to make changes. Roxio have long been promising a version of DirectCD for OSX - I presume this would match the OS9 functionality of CD-RWs in OSX but would not affect DVD-RWs. Also, a word of warning - DVD-RWs appear to work like other CD-R/RWs when used in the Finder, but on reinsertion contain no data.
