#561907 - 07/26/11 08:19 AM What external Burner works with iDVD?
iMacsoontobe Where's the RAM? Registered: 01/10/08 Posts: 218 Loc: The Burgh	For the 2 or 3 times a year I need to burn a cd or dvd, it seems senseless to spend over 200 for an internal superdrive. I thought I had read that iDVD doesn't play well with some external burners. TIA Joe

iMacsoontobe Where's the RAM? Registered: 01/10/08 Posts: 218 Loc: The Burgh	??? Don't want to put a new internal in for over $200. Apple has this...but it seems it may only be compatible with Macbook Air and mini.. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC684ZM/A?mco=MTk0NDQ5OTk Saw this on Bestbuy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG+-+8x+External+USB+2.0+DL+DVD&%23177%3BRW/CD-RW+Rewriter/1019457.p?id=1218209647732&skuId=1019457&cmp=RMX&ky=1whxm51gbOgORrn6M8JOUlLjDtR0yY7Rx#BVRRWidgetID

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 13604 Loc: Columbus OH	I don't know if the BestBuy one will work with OS X. I have to run out, check back tonight. I'll see what will work. We can find something around the same price. I forget, which Mac do you have and what version of the OS? _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Don't forget.. not that you would want to do it on a permanent basis.. but you can get around the incompatibility by making a disk image upon export and then the image will burn on any burner. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/
