but not using the internal PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-106D.

And the DVR-106D has v. 108 firmware? If not, you CAN flash this on your Mac. You can get firmware and flash tool for it here:

Also, the Pioneer is older and has restricted media types.

Here's a chart that shows EXACTLY which types of discs the DVD-106D can use, and about half the discs aren't available to the DVD-106D (the ones with the "X" don't work in the DVD-106D):

These charts are complex and you need to look at them carefully, especially for the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R discs. It appears the DVD-106D can only handled discs that are x2 or x4 discs, with the possible exception of being able to use the x8 DVD+R discs also. The DVD-106D is a 4x writer and thus incapable of recording any dual-layer DVDs, but it should read them.
