Just to warn any potential buyer with a G5 Mac like me...

Just a guess, but it's probably because the PPC DVD is distributed on Dual-Layer DVD media (it's over 7GB) and a older Mac like the G5 almost certainly has only a legacy Single-Layer DVD reader. Contact Jake and see if you could arrange to get a copy on USB instead.

Did SL (single-layer) DVD-ROM readers exist? I wouldn't have thought such things would comply with DVD specifications. More likely, the drive will handle DL (double-layer) DVD-ROM, but may be incompatible with DL DVD-R and/or DL DVD+R (whichever format the PPC DVD uses).
