I was hoping that iDVD 3 would run on my external DVD-R but alas it does not. As an alternative, I'm thinking about dropping an internal 105 DVD-R into my G4 450 and using iLife on that machine to create DVDs with iMovie and iDVD. Does anyone have any experience doing this and can tell me how long it takes iMovie to render a 30 minute QT Movie, import it in to iDVD and then burn a disc at 2-4x? I'm wondering if my G4 450 might be too slow. Thanks. If ---------------------------- Ira Flatow Host/Executive Producer - "Science Friday"
