Well, as usually happens when I try to save a buck (as in "didn't get the Superdrive"), I need an external DVD burner now.
Talk about confusing! On DPReview's Professional Photographer forum, I got so many conflicting recommendations that I'm worse off than before. It's not even clear from them whether I have to buy burners that say "Mac compatible" on their specs. Some say no. I have trouble believing that although, of course Samsung or Pioneer 16X writers are like $40 and the LaCie that my local Mac Outfitters sells costs around $90. Retrofitting a Superdrive in my 12" G4 Powerbook is $190...
So...here I am, asking Mac folks who'll know. I kind of think I'd like to be able to use Toast, just because I'm used to it, but maybe that's not in the cards. I'm a photographer who wants to upgrade the digital product delivered to brides and other clients, as well as archive images for the studio. I don't make home movies and have no interest in copying existing films. But making a DVD that a bride could plop in her home system and watch on TV does appeal.
Thank in advance
Jeff
