Well you're going to watch them aren't you?
 You already have the tools. I have the phillips in addition to the G4 
and associated tools and for my money it's cranky and a pain and what 
comes out is kind of funky compared to what iDVD gives you even with no 
editing on your part.
Just doesn't take as long.
