Mac Rumors

Despite indications that Apple is using a Sony DVD writer in at least some of their newest iMacs, News.com reports that Sony Superdrive owners will be unable to take full advantage of the hardware:

    However, Apple confirmed that iMacs, even those with Sony DVD burners, can only use DVD-R media. The Mac maker wouldn't say whether the +R media support was disabled in hardware or software.

Apple offically supports the "DVD-R" format, while the Sony drive also supports DVD+R/+RW.
