you can buy a non apple burner, but.... the dvd-r format isn't the same as commercial dvd movies, it's a much shorter length and may or may not work at all in most players. another great piece of marketing deception/technical confusion. all the dvd-r is really good for is shorter movies and backup, although the media is still too expensive for backup. burners that create the true dvd movie format are still going for over $1000, last time i saw them a few months ago. dvd movie bootlegging is still a big dollar situation, which frankly is a good thing. copyright infringement is illegal, and is wrong and something people need desperately to become more aware of.
