[MacDV] Re: Toast 6 and iDVD

[Gerhard Kuhn]

Depends, if your computer has a internal Superdrive then you can if you 
have an external DVD-R burner then you won't.  The reason is that you 
cannot use iDVD unless you have the internal Superdrive which according 
to Apple is a MPEG2 licensing issue, in my opinion the licensing fee 
could be collected through a plug-in that needs to be purchased in 
order to activate iDVD when the internal Superdrive is not present 
(much like they do with QT MPEG2 plug-in).  I have a internal 
Superdrive so this issue does not affect me but it rubs me the wrong 
way that people with G4 iMacs, eMacs, notebooks and Cubes don't have a 
reasonable upgrade path.
