[CUBE] Yes, an actual working iDVD/external burner hack

[Allan Hise]

I have an external Pioneer 106 attached to my cube via firewire.
When I instlled Panther, it didn't install DVD player, so I just copied it
from my iBook with a combo drive (CDRW+DVD read-only).

When I pop a DVD into the pioneer, it fires up DVD player and plays...
