  • OT: Is this New? Tiger and DVD -R/RW +R/RW

    Posted by Mark Burton on April 30, 2005 at 4:57 pm

    I am not sure if this is new, but I hadn’t known it was possible in Panther. I have upgraded my G5 to Tiger and looking in System Profiler for the DVD Drive specs tells me that the drive is supported for both DVD -R/RW and +R/RW. Is this new to Tiger?

    It’s the drives Apple’s putting in now. My G4 PB 1.67GHz came with Panther and burns DVD -R/RW and +R/RW’s. Upgrading to Tiger didn’t add this.
    But watching the HD trailers in Q7 is sure sweet. 🙂
    The latest round of drives Apple’s putting in now support dual layer.

    What you are seeing is that 10.4 has streamlined working with RW disks. No longer do you have to use disc utility to black a RW disc. You can do it in the finder, and system profiler is telling you that you can, like it indicated disc-burn support.

    Actually, I believe this IS a feature of Panther unlocking the +R / +RW capabilities in any SuperDrive machine, both old and new.

    Tiger may have made it easier to use but I’ve been burning both + and – DVD RW’s before Tiger’s release. Course, I was using Toast which may explain why nothing looks new to me. 🙂

    I do know that Tiger is running much, much faster on my machine than Panther did.
