Yes and no.

It could but it depends on chip density. Pismo can use higher density memory
chips that sometimes older memory managers in the Lombard and Wallstreet can
fully recognize.
Mostly, the Lombard and Wallstreet memory managers cannot accept higher

I bought Popcorn shortly after the arrival of the 12 1.5GHz PB; and
now I looked and it seems like they rolled some of the popcorn
features into the newest Toast... from the product blurbs anyway...
Possibly, except for the smart compression algorithm.
If you are only doing DVDs, then all
Actually the Pismo will burn DVDs okay, just at slower speeds.
I did not test that. Perhaps I will, later.
4X has been confirmed to work using a UJ-845.
My 2X confirmation was using a DVR-K05.
I have no reason to doubt that the DVR-K05 will do 4X as well.

The problem might be that your DVD burner is too recent, too
powerful, etc.
Posible, as these are very fast drives, and will burn a dual-layer DVD at
2.4X, and a single-layer DVD at 8X.
Those date rates are just too high for the flimsy interconnection
provided to the Lombard and Pismo media

Depends on your setup, portability needs, etc. External firewire will
always be much better, faster, stabler, etc. As I mentioned, I used a
Panasonic UJ-811B in my Pismo and it burned movies to DVD-R's okay.

It definitely will not do a DVD-R or R/W, most likely on account of
imperfect grounding or other flaws in the electrical interface from
the drive to the motherboard.

The 2X write test with the Pioneer DVR-K05 and the Pismo worked perfectly.
2X write was explicitly selected, overriding best write rate, although
it appeared that the actual writing took

Forcing burning down to 2X might be a possible option.
I notice that my Firewire case has an 80-wire/40-pin cable from the
Oxford chipset to the drive.

Actually, I've burned DVD from my Lombard using an external burner
(Sony DVD RE DW-U18A - Firewire) and Toast Titanium 6. Lombard is a
400 with no upgrade. As for the upgrade, nice to have (I want one
too) but not necessary for your project, IMHO.
