[MacDV] iLife and G4 450

[Thubten Kunga]

It will be slow, but it will be fine. Just do it and don't cave into 
their blackmail that you have to buy a new machine. I am highly angered 
that they are not supporting external DVD burners with a software 
package they are selling as stand alone. This is outrageous! Don't know 
about the times. Report back your results please.

You could also buy a PowerLogix upgrade if your G4 is AGP. You have 
1999 G4 last PCI graphics or 2000 first AGP graphics?
