Re: DVD Drive for iDVD

[Robert Durnford]

If it is the same drive inside,i.e. OEM Pioneer, in the LaCie it should 
work but you will have to remove it from the case to install inside a 
MAC. Better to get abare drive for internalinstall. The support for 
superdrives is internal not external when using Apple software.

You can test it externally with Toast to see if it will work but it 
must be an Apple recognized drive for use with iDVD etc. inside the Mac

G4 Sawtooth 450, 756mRAM, OS 10.3.2

Thanks, the article shows an older tower than mine but the procedure 
should be similar. Is a Pioneer DVR-106 DVD mechanism sold in say a 
LaCie enclosure and one from some other outfit the same? i.e. would 
they behave the same with Apple's Panther DVD driver?

Thanks
