I also know that DVD Studio Pro can be used to master much longer DVD's. My questions: Can 4.7 GB media Apple sells (called DVD-R General) actually HOLD more than 60 minutes of MPEG-2 so if I but DVD SP I can write say 120 minutes to the single layer. Or do I need to buy the 8.7GB Dual Layer media? Does the internal Superdrive WRITE to anything other than the 4.7GB single layer media or can I use dual layer media in it? thanks in advance Bill qb Quattlebaum -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
