I would recommend just buying an internal Pioneer DVD-RW and replacing the stock cd-rom drive. The Pioneer DVR-107D (8X DVD+R, 4X DVD+RW, 8X DVD-R, 4X DVD-RW, 24X CD-R, 24X CD-RW) is the fastest currently supported for Finder and 'I'app burning (requires 10.3.3 and later). The DVR-108 (DVD+R DualLayer 4X,16X DVD+R, 4X DVD+RW, 16X DVD-R,4X DVD-RW, 32X CD-R, 24X CD-RW) has just recently come out but is not yet supported with out patchburn. The Pioneer drives are what Apple sells and as far as I know are the only one that natively support Finder burning. If you are looking for a used drive on ebay one of the older Pioneer drive such as a DVR-106 (10.2.8 or better), though you can get these new drives for $80 - $90.
Yes they do also record cd-r(w). -----Original Message----- From: G-List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Jesty Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 13:12 To: G-List Subject: Re: DVD Writer for B&W Hello, can anyone recommend a DVD writer for a B&W G3? I've been to the Accelerate Your Mac page at: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ and didn't see any reviews that we're 100% positive. I'd like to find a cheaper drive on e-bay than go to a Mac store and purchase a $300 Lacie drive. If possible something that can burn from the desktop and through Itunes. IMovie support is not important to me. Also, this may be a stupid question but do DVD burners also allow you to burn regular cds? Thank you in advance.
