Burning DVD-RW media w/SuperDrive
Authored by: Felix on Mar 25, '02 02:38:20AM

The Mar 2002 Macworld magazine (p. 88) says to use the following procedure to burn to DVD-RW media using a SuperDrive and iDVD. No mention though of what SuperDrive firmware version is required.

Double-click on the Burn button as you normally would and insert a blank DVD-R when iDVD tells you to. When you see iDVD's Preparing status message, press your keyboard's eject key and replace the DVD-R with a new or erased DVD-RW (you can use OS X's Disk Utility program to erase DVD-RWs). iDVD will then burn as normal.

However, I can erase the same discs with no problem on my imac. ??? I do not know what the difference could be. in the past I might have had to reboot the machine to either get the disk out, or then to erace it???
