Recommended external DVD burner?

2005-11-07 Thread Howard Katz
Since my PB only has a Combo drive in it, I've been playing with the idea of getting an external DVD writer, firewire of course. I know I could upgrade the internal drive, but an external unit could be shared with my roommate for use on his peecee. I'm interested in knowing what others are using

in the case to make a wonderful firewire external CD burner, DVD burner or HD. I also bought a 2.5 profile 40GB HD and an 2.5 usb external case (for my G3 pismo) both at Compusa for a small profile external HD. Try www.headgap.com for any equipment and mac needs. They are one of the best places

I use a Sony external DVD FW burner for both my Pismo and G3 iBook. It's an older single layer burner (Sony DVD RW DW-U18A) but burns at 16X. I've not had any problems with it. Henry On Nov 7, 2005, at 2:39 PM, Howard Katz wrote: Since my PB only has a Combo drive in it, I've been playing

MacWorld had reviews of 16X drives earlier this year (you can google it or search directly on macworld.com). The LaCie D2 16X DVD±RW was their pick for value (Plextor had a faster, though much more expensive drive). Based on MacWorld and other sources, I bought the LaCie and have been very

Pismo DVD burner

2005-04-17 Thread Kevin Bellerose
Looking for a superdrive for my Pismo, has anyone had any luck with a UJ-845-B? Anyone have any suggestions for one that will slot load,boot osx and work with native apple apps. I have seen recommendations for older drives in that series, not sure about this one. Thanks for your help. Kevin

I would guess that rendering a video DVD on a 300mhz iBook would take overnight---but that's OK. The real issue will be disk space and RAM. I will comment that even on my 1Ghz AlBook, with a gig of RAM, and the new compressor from the latest version of iMovie, I am easily in the multiple
