[MacDV] Re: external DVD burner

[Gerhard Kuhn]

If you are trying to do DVD authoring using a G3 based Mac it might be 
better to save the money towards the purchase of a G4.  A eMac would 
cost 3 or 4 times that of a firewire DVD burner and you would have 
system that is faster and more capable in every way.  I remember when I 
bought my first CD burner it was a USB burner and bought  it for the 
same reasons you are stating, all the coaster I burned (resulting from 
a system too slow and short of resources) were frustrating beyond 
belief.  My advice would be to wait and anticipate the pleasure of 
creating DVDs with a system up to the job rather than have a bad 
experience with equipment past it's best before date.
