[MacDV] Re: equipment for dvd

It won't work because it is external.  You can fit your tower with an 
internal Pioneer drive bought anywhere and it will work with iDVD.  If 
you put that same drive in a firewire case it will not allow iDVD to 
work but Toast will work with it.  According to Apple this is licensing 
issue but others feel it has more to do with promoting new hardware 
sales.
