iDVD2
There was a company selling the external AO4 drive that included a patch to make iDVD work on external drives. Anyone know anything more abut this?
Cease and decist...
Apple asked them to stop shipping the patch, and they did so. I can't remember the name of the company involved, though...
Cease and decist...
The company was formac. Now they just ship proprietary burning software that (from the looks of their web site) can only support a single movie on a DVD.
Cease and decist...
Nope - Formac has always sold their own proprietary software with their Devideon DVD-R. The "other" company that sold a patch to let iDVD work with their external DVD-R's was Other World Computing. They have since pulled the patch, due to Apple's demands. Apple wants people who desire to burn DVD's easily with iDVD to buy a whole new computer from APPLE, not a $300 peripheral from OWC.
Cease and decist...
I'd thought this was pretty rotten of Apple too. I don't mind paying a modest premium for their hardware as a surrogate for paying for software, but you can't BUY an external DVD burner from Apple!
Cease and decist...NOT TRUE
What's being said here and one post above isn't entirely true. You can buy a Pioneer A04 DVD drive and iDVD will work with it just fine. No patch required. I've been doing it for a year on my dual 450 G4. |
