[CUBE] Waiting (hoping) for a slotloading Superdrive for my Cube

[Rob In der Maur]

I've burned two DVD's with my new MCE Superdrive. First one was 
Verbatim, second one was Apple's DVD-R (2x). Both went well, and show 
without any glitch using DVD Player on the Mac. Unfortunately, my DVD 
player hooked to my TV won't play both DVD's at all. I will try another 
brand soon as it seems a DVD player can be picky on DVD-R's. For the 
moment, I don't blame the MCE Superdrive as it burns DVD-R without 
hickups which show without hickups on my Mac. It must be the media, or 
worse my DVD player just won't accept DVD-R's at all.... :(

cheers,
Rob
