Burn dual-layer with iDVD using your unsupported DVD burner

The boys at MacBidouille have done it again.

iDVD 5.0.1 already has support for the burning of double-layer optical media — DVD+R DL discs, letting you burn projects requiring up to 4 hours of video on discs virtually double the size of single-layer DVDs. The latest G5s have SuperDrives that support DL media. Not everyone has the latest G5 or a DL-capable burner that iDVD officially supports. But why should we let a little thing like that stop us?

From MacBidouille's English sister-site, HardMac:

"It took us more time than the other times to overcome the arbitrary iDVD protection. But after several days of intense concentration and hard work, we did it! We modified iDVD so that it accepts to burn in double-layer mode on a non-supported DVD-burner."

Go here for the instructions – and don't come crying to us (or Apple.. duh) if you break something.
