All I wanted to do was to burn DVDs from iDVD. It doesn't sound like too much to ask for, does it? (APPLE!). After buying and returning a Sony and an Iomega DVD recorder, I decided to pay "full price" and order one off of Apple's website, thinking certainly theirs would be 100% OS X compatible. The only one they had available was a LaCie 8x Drive (we're talking external, here, as in for my PowerBook). After ordering, I began to wonder if even THAT would be 100% compatible. I called Apple, and they said that NO external DVD writer would be compatible with iDVD (or the Finder) and basically if I didn't buy the PowerBook with the DVD recorder built in, I was just "out of luck"! Needless to say, I cancelled my order.

Yesterday I went out and bought a 12x TDK External recorder (love those TDK's), thinking all hope was lost as far as iDVD was concerned. Then I stumbled across this page today...and it actually works! Why did Apple, the King (Queen?) of simplicity had to make this so difficult??

Thanks so much again you guys. You've really made my day!
