iDVD 4 archive option

[Gordon B. Alley]

I haven't tried it yet, myself.

But when I picked up my iDVD '04 package at the local Mac store, I 
asked about the iDVD 4 "archive" operation. I was told that no 
encoding actually takes place until the "archive" has been copied to 
the SuperDrive-equipped Mac. So it appears that while you can use 
iDVD 4 to "lay out" a DVD on a SuperDrive-challenged Mac, it still 
requires a SuperDrive-equipped Mac to perform the encoding.
