[MacDV] Re: iMac G3, Ext. DVD burner & authoring options

[Thubten Kunga]

I have a B&W 450 with a DVD-RAM drive inside. I hacked the DVR-105 
inside with the DVD-RAM drive (yes two 5.25" drives inside a B&W Mac) 
and am adding a PowerLogix 550 G4 upgrade to make it iDVD 3 ready.

Nothing is incompatible with Jaguar. Classic mode runs twice as fast in 
Jaguar as it does in 10.1.5. In fact many OS 9 applications run faster 
in Classic mode than they do natively. So I don't understand what you 
mean by that cryptic statement. You need Jaguar to work with the iLife 
suite.

Your choice to stay in OS 9 is very backward looking. You might want to 
rethink that. What specifically is causing you to hesitate to make the 
switch?
