[G4] DVD Drive help

[Davis Gaffga]

I am using a Mac Quick Silver with System 10.3.9. I am in need of what 
a guess is called a super drive. What I need to do is burn DVD's to 
back up my photo projects (same as I do now with CD's but I do need the 
extra size that DVD's offer). I planned to get the Pioneer DVD-110D 
Internal DVD±RW ($69.95 @ MacMall). When I called to order it I was 
told that MacMall advises getting the MCE Internal DVD±R/RW drive at 
$99.95 because it is guaranteed to be Mac compatible and the Pioneer 
one is not. Is that sales BS in order to get me to spend the extra 
$30.00 as sales guy worked hard at discouraging me from buying the 
Pioneer unit, so I purchased neither. Also, am I going to have to 
purchase additional software such as Toast in order to use the drive or 
does system 10.3.9 recognize that one has a DVD burner installed.
