Pssst! Don't tell anybody but I've heard it from a little birdy that there
is a patch somewhere out there floating around that lets you use iDVD with
3rd party drives. It was originally written by OWC to be used with their
DVD-R drives. Apple came down hard on OWC and forced them the cease and
desist! But as we all know, things like that don't just disappear - they
just keep floating around...

Of course it would be immoral, unethical and generally bad for your health
to use such a thing. And if you download it, lightening may strike and fry
both you and your computer. But...
