[P1] dvd burning

[Joe Jones]

Just to clarify:

You can burn DVDs with an iBook with an external firewire burner, but 
not DVD movies. So you can burn data, disk images and so on.

For example, if you used iDVD to make a dvd movie on a G4 and copied 
the disk image you made to the iBook you'd be able to burn it, but the 
iBook couldn't create a DVD disk image for a movie on its own.

DVD burning on iBooks is purely for backup, or ready made images you 
want to burn.
