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.
