[MacDV] Re: From the DV Expo this week in Los Angeles

[Randy Wilson]

Doesn't a DVD-R drive cost about $360 anyway? If so, I wonder what the advantage is to that product.  Also, I notice that it's USB.  Is that going to be fast enough to do DVD burning, or should Firewire really be used? Just wondering.

Let me get this straight...

So ADS Technologies, with their new hardware/software, is using the 
built-in CDRW to burn the DVD?
BTW, The link you posted is gone from their site.

If you can get more info on this off the floor of the DV Expo please post.
(I am just about to buy an external DVD burner to use with a CDRW 
equipped Ti Powerbook)

Thanks.
Rod
