[X4U] DVD hardware test

[Robert Ashton]

Personally I would just buy a new burner. You can now get dual layer  
internal burner that would replace your burner for around $40.00  
Canadian. What you might spend on software to test would cost you  
close to or more than that. Toast will support this new burner and  
iDVD that comes with iLife 06 will support it also. There are way  
more advantages to a new burner that to mess around  with an older  
one.  Hope this helps.   Bob
