DVD+RW on OSX???

I have one - a Tritton external. I have to use Toast Titanium 5.2 to burn the discs (which wasn't included - I had to buy it seperately). Alas, the OSX 'burn disc' function does not work with the external drive. Likewise, iDVD cannot burn to it.

However, OSX can READ from the external drive just fine.
 
thanks for the info.

Does this mean I won't be able to use iDVD at all - not even if I use Toast to burn with?
 
As far as I know, yes, that's what it means. :(

It'd be nice if there was some way to tell iDVD to "burn" to a HD folder, which could then be written to a disc via Toast, but I can find no such feature in iDVD 2. Who knows, maybe in version 3.

I actually have an Apple Superdrive too, and I use it for iDVD, but I got the DVD+RW in order to do rewritable backups. I believe (though I have not yet tried it) that I could dupe my iDVD discs to DVD+RW via Toast.

But from what I read, at least for now, Apple basically wants to make iDVD an incentive for people to order superdrive-equipped Macs...

I have an Ikebana DVD+RW/+R (Ricoh) on my G$ 867 and I copy from +RW/+R to -RW/-R and vice versa many times. The only problem I find with it is that, with Toast, there is no Buffer Underrun protection with the Ikebana, whie it is available with the Superdrive. I'm actually thinking of getting rid of the Ikebana.:cool:
