Has anyone been able to burn a DVD using iDVD on their laptop? Can't seem to burn a single DVD yet on my 15" AluBook. Toast 6.0 is OK, but iDVD totally sucks! Can't even use it to burn on my Dual 2Gig G5! HELP!!!

I only have a Combo drive on my 15" TiBook, but I created a movie using iDVD and then, using firewire, moved it over to a friend's new G5. Everything worked perfectly. I was able to burn several copies without any problems at all. I can't wait to upgrade my Combo to Super so that I can begin burning my own DVD's.

Works fine here. Takes a bit of time though.

are you guys using the latest version of iDVD on your laptops? I still can't get mines to burn anything. It only burns DVD files using Toast 6. Thanks again!
