G'day.
Further to my post a week ago re this subject, from the iDVD 6 help
pages.

Newer SuperDrive optical drives in Macintosh computers can burn
discs in DVD+R DL (Double Layer) format. Double-layer discs store
almost twice as much content as single-layer discs, making them a
great choice for large projects.
To see if your computer's SuperDrive can burn DVD+R DL discs,
choose Project > Project Info. If you see 8.0 GB (Double Layer) in
the DVD Type pop-up menu, you can use these discs for your project.
To burn a project to a DVD+R DL disc:
Choose Project > Project Info and choose 8.0 GB (Double Layer) from
the DVD Type pop-up menu.
Select the encoder setting you want to use. If you have more than
120 minutes of content, select Best Quality.
Click OK.
Click the Burn button (shown above).
Insert the disc when you see the prompt.
If your project is small enough to fit on a single-layer disc and
you insert a double-layer disc, you see a dialog giving you the
option to change the media type. You can cancel the burn and start
again, or insert a new disc and continue.
You should always burn double-layer discs directly from iDVD and
not from a disc image. Double-layer discs burned from a disc image
may cause playback issues in some DVD players, such as freezing
during playback.

The last sentence is interesting, as the commonly suggested method of
burning Dual layer discs is by first creating a disc image, then
burning with Toast or Disk Utility.
Also, my Sony shows up as supporting 8 Gig in iDVD 6, but still shows
as 'unsupported' in System Profiler.

Santa
