I put a Pioneer 105 CD-RW/DVD-RW into an external FW/USB box and it is working fine with my G4 GBit Ethernet which has been bumped to 1GHz processor speed. I believe that Pioneer now has a model available that can burn double-sided DVDs. I would look into that option before making any decision on brand.
