my understanding is that by default, when burning a DVD using the Finder, it creates a HFS+ disc. is this correct?
in any event, I'd like to create a UDF disk. Can I do this using the finder, or do I need to use a special program, such as Toast?

My understanding is that UDF is a proprietary format developed by Panasonic and cannot be natively read or written on Mac or Windows machines. I believe special software is needed to read or write USF with a Mac. I think there is an application called ReadDVD! than can do this.
I'm not 100% certain about this and hopefully if I'm not correct someone will respond with the correct information.

I think you may be wrong on this -- unless I myself am wrong, UDF is the format of video DVD's, so Macs (and all modern computers) can definitely read it. I just need to know how I can _create_ such a disk! (I'm actually trying to make a video DVD)

iDVD burns DVDs in the DVD format that DVD players and most modern computer can read.
I'm not sure if the Finder can - I don't think so, but I may be wrong.

The Finder burns discs in ISO-9660.

You should be able to do this w/ Apple's Disk Utility app. I think the best way would be to create a blank image the size of a DVD-R or DVD-R DL and then convert the blank image to a DVD/CD master, making it UDF.
P.S. UDF is an open standard:
In September 1995, the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA),
published specifications for a read/write file system known as Universal Disk Format (UDF),
designed to be a single file system interchange standard for computer-based applications.
An implementation of the International Standards Organization (ISO) interchange standard
for non-sequential recording of data (ISO 13346), UDF was engineered to make optical
storage solutions independent of the data system.
