Hi there-

Has anyone had any luck using an external superdrive to burn video DVDs? I know externals will not work with iDVD. But, does anyone have any recommendations for any particular models of burners that also include DVD-making software?

Thanks!!

As long as you realize you can't use iDVD, there are a lot of external burners that will work. I don't have any specific recommendations, though. As for the software, the best iDVD alternative is probably Capty DVD.
