[MacDV] Re: Pioneer dvr-105 and IDVD

[Jim Soriano]

I'm a list DV newbie (with a G4-500 (Sawtooth) running 10.2.3 in 1.5GB 
RAM), so apologies in advance for beating this topic to death.  Just to 
make it clear, can I...

1.  Remove my original internal DVD-RAM drive and replace it with one 
of these cool IDE internal Pioneer DVR-105 DVD-R/RW drives (like the 
Cendyne 2x4x8 advertised at Staples) and have it work with iDVD? and 
then...

2.  Take the DVD-RAM drive and put it in sombody's (who do you all 
recommend?) external case that has an integral IDE-to-FireWire 
converter and then use my DVD-RAM externally hanging off of FireWire?

Does anybody have experience running iDVD with a G4-500 to a DVR-104 or 
105?  Does the 500MHz CPU have enough guts for a clean burn?

Regards,

Jim
