Snip from IGM with my questions below:

Panther Goes Native with the Pioneer DVR-107
by Remy Davison, Insanely Great Mac
March 16th 2004

The OS X 10.3.3 release yesterday also delivers native burn support for
Pioneer's DVR-107D dual DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW recorder, MacBidouille reports.

 Intriguingly, the burner is not only 'supported' by Apple, but also works
in an external FireWire case, according to one MacBidouille correspondent.
Reportedly, even via FireWire it works "with all the iApps."

My questions:

Have any of you, with external firewire DVD burners, experimented with using
iDVD since installing the 10.3.3 release? If iDVD does work with external
drives, is it limited to just the Pioneer drives?

Thanks,
Larry
