[CUBE] Yes, an actual working iDVD/external burner hack

[Hal]

I tried the "hack" in iDVD3 under Panther and it worked great. For the 
first time, iDVD sees my external Firewire LaCie DVD-R. Now I need to 
go get some blanks and iLife 2004. The new iDVD will burn full 2 hour 
discs, as opposed to the 90 minute ones under iDVD3.

...and there was much rejoicing!
