I bought the external D2 drive, same specs same problem but Toast burns to it fine. So if you were to install the Hurz/Pfurz hack you could export an image and then use Toast to burn it, this is what I am attempting as I am writing this reply. I will let you know how it worked. Gerhard P.S. My enclosure contains a Nec drive not a Pioneer so that might be why iDVD won't recognize it.
