From what I have read, iDVD will only work with the built-in DVD burner. Is this true?

Does Roxio use external firewall/USB DVD burners?

Also, can iMovie save movies in a format that Roxio can use to burn the movie to an external DVD drive?

Does Final Cut Express limit you to only the internal DVD burner like iMovie does?

Thanks in advance!

I thin maybe you are mixing up your questions but will give it a try

Theoretically, idvd is only with internal DVD burners. this can be factory or even later istalls as I understand.
there is a patch which didn't work on my pbook. google will turn up some locations.

Toast 6 (Roxio) works wonderfully with pretty much any external burner I have ever plugged in
any .mov file saved from imove can be burned to an external dvd via toast. Use the video tab and select your kind of output. the menu isn't beautiful, but it works
final cut and imovie are only video editing programs, they have nothing to do with recording to dvd. Try DVD Studio Pro. Have it burn the project to a folder and then record to DVD using DVD UDF option in the data tab in toast. create a new disc, drag audio and video tf files and away you go, to your external of course.
hope this helps.

iDVD only burns to Apple SuperDrives. There is a fix for old versions of iDVD. The new iDVD 5 can save de projects as a disk image that can later be saved using any DVD burner.

Roxio Toast supports most DVD burners, either FireWire or USB (FireWire is the best option)

Final Cut Express and iMovie don't burn movies, so... if you mean DVD Studio Pro, it can work with any DVD burner.

iDVD 5 will now burn to external drives and save to a disk image without the well known hack.
