Is there any way to erase and reformat a DVD + RW using OS 10.4.11 disk utility?
 
I am new to Mac, but what I was told you don't have to format a DVD-RW or a CD-RW on the Mac

That is true if you buy a pre-formatted disk. But you can only use it one time unless you do sessions.
My DVD/VCR recorder/player will allow me to record and erase and/or reformat over and over on a DVD + RW
 
DVDs are just $0.10/pc, why not just burn a new one? I think technically if you 'erase' a DVD that it is just appending to the TOC and makeing a statement to not display previously recorded sessions. Multi-session DVDs and CDs are problematic across platforms.
