Yep, I've used it for a few months. It's a great drive (essentially a 
firewire Pioneer) and the software that comes with it is good, but not 
as "professional" as iDVD.

However it has many of the iDVD features and the render time while not 
spectacular is reasonable. I've done many burns with it and they all 
came out flawless.

In fact, I'm actually selling my Formac external DVD+Software right now 
because I bought a G4+Superdrive.

If you're interested in it drop me an e-mail, the drive is basically 
brand new.
