Paul Am I understanding you correctly. This patch will allow an external Pioneer DVD 105 burner to use iDVD 3? I'm running a Powerbook Ti 667 DVI (10.2.8) and use Toast as my DVD burning software. iDVD 3 would be a huge asset. I know of the issues of MPEG2 licensing and why Apple doesn't allow external iDVD authoring. This patch works around that? Thanks in advance.
