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

[George Pepper]

Weird... I copied DVD Player from the iBook to the Xserve again, and 
set it up to auto-launch... When I insert a DVD, the DVD mounts to the 
desktop and DVD Player auto-launches [Which is better than it was 
before, when it unexpectedly quit on every launch] but I get this 
message:

"DVD Player encountered a serious error.

A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]"

This is under OS X.ii.viii... I e-mailed support at LaCie, but have not 
heard back yet...
