I had been planning on buying the new TiPB, but I've sadly come to find out that the new 1GHz TiPB can not burn DVD-RW or DVD-RAM. So now I'm considering the 867 and an external FireWire DVD burner.

Does a MultiFormat DVD recorder exist in real life? I've found them in literature, but where can I actually buy a combination DVD-R, DVD-RW and, most importantly, DVD-RAM (With CD-RW, of course.)?

Does anyone own such an animal? Does it work? And if so, which DVD authoring software do you use, and does it work?

Thanks!

Panasonic LF-D521. I haven't seen it in any store yet, but PC Mag (PC World?) has already done a review of it.

Ironically, the TiPB's Panasonic UJ-815 is DVD-Multi, but it seems that Apple's custom firmware doesn't support either of the DVD rewritable formats, for some bizarre reason.
