DVD+R DL is necessary for 4.71-9.4 GB images.  This media size is
necessary for more than 120 minutes of DVD video, too -- with the
new disc capacity being 240 minutes.

These are burnable in the latest Mac-included SuperDrives, but not
in all older ones.  (I do not have any information on which models
started including the newer drives, but it was not later than the
Intel-based iMacs.)

Optionally, if you have a free partition on any attached drive that's big enough, you can just write the .dmg to the hard drive partition rather than burning a DVD. This is common practice for many Apple engineers. Then you can boot from that partition rather than booting from the DVD. It's typically much faster than burning a DVD, too.

Well then you can just leave the dmg as a dmg and just mount it with hdid (etc) as well too. That is you don't have to expand the dmg's onto disk.
