External DVD Burner?

[DepModeFan]

I currently have G4 400 and I'm not going to be upgrading to a G5 w/superdrive anytime real soon. Can anyone reccomend an external DVD Burner for use with iDVD and possibly, later on, DVD Studio Pro?

Answer is no.

Reason is that iDVD does NOT WORK with external DVD burners. Only internal ones, and usually only those installed by Apple.

Toast 6 has rudimentary encoding and burning capabilities with external DVD burners.

Also, DVD SP 1.5.x will work with externals. But DVD SP2 will be too slow on your machine.
