Well, I think I was talking about the iLife suite that
I guess includes iDVD. I haven't been to videohelp
yet. Maybe tonite. The reason I was considering
Panther was because I was told somewhere that the

external drives to be recognized. It looks like that's
not the only way, as I downloaded a file last night
and BINGO! The player starts right up when I put a
movie in.

The reason I haven't been there yet is time. This
