Mark,  If you are interested in trying out DVD-RW with your 1 GHz 
Powerbook now, there is a firmware hack available here:

There is also Apple-supported firmware available to back-flash to 
factory standards.  You can also choose if you want your drive to be 
region-free for DVD viewing.  I've been running this firmware on my 1 
GHz LunchtrayDeluxe (Rev. A 17-inch PB) for as long as I can remember 
and have had no problems.  The site recommends you use quality DVD-RW 
media, however.
