I wouldn't be surprised is this would still be required for DVD recording?
I suppose you could burn the dvd with the standard MS filesystem (fat or ntfs) and have a second mac fs (whatever that is, are they using ext2?). Seems a bit pointless though as windows and macs can both read UDF filesystems.
