Re: External firewire DVD burners with Powerbook
I have a Pioneer DVR-105 that I put in a nameless firewire box I got from OWC. It works with my G4-powerbook, cube, and works on the Beige G3 using Toast. I don't know what you want to burn, but if you intend to do CDs, your $50 Lite-On Cd burner is going to be a whole lot faster than your DVD burner or your internal burner. Applecare gave me a free combo drive when my old drive crapped out. It works great but it is really slow. Oops--i just noted that Kyle noted you can't use iDVD on an external driveI haven't tried it so I don't know. I got my DVD for backups (an idea that is now virtually obsolete). I make video CDs for video stuff. -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

External firewire DVD burners with Powerbook
Hi, I am reconsidering the Superdrive model of the Powerbook and am now considering getting the combo drive with an external firewire DVD burner. I understand they are faster than the superdrive burner. Just wondering if anybody has gone this route, and if so which burner you have and how well it is working for you ?

I understand they are faster than the superdrive burner. They can burn at 4x instead of 2x. But there is a downfall. You can't use iDVD or iMovie as your burning software on a 3rd party drive. I would get the internal superdrive. -- Kyle H. Hansen It's Always darkest... right before it gets totally black. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
