Some time ago, i was complaining about not being able to burn from the Finder Panther, nor from iTunes or Disk Util.
In fact my QUE FireWire 48x16x48 was not recognized by Panther, and there was no possible patch to change this in the Panther disk.recording.framework.
The only partial solution was to create a drpprofile plug-in file in /Librarry/DiskRecording/DeviceProfiles/, but in my case i had no luck, even with this plug-in.
Then i saw this post at wwwmacbidouille.com about using the right indentation when creating this drpprofile plug-in, as it could make the texte file readable by the system. So i did this. here is my original drpprofile, with no indentation:
------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<array>
<dict>
<key>DRDevicePersonalities</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>DRDeviceVendorName</key>
<string>SAMSUNG</string>
<key>DRDeviceProductName</key>
<string>CD-R/RW SW-248B</string>
</dict>
</array>
<key>DRDeviceProfile</key>
<dict>
<key>DRDeviceDescription</key>
<string>RW48x16x46</string>
</dict>
<key>DRDeviceProfileVersion</key>
<integer>1</integer>
</dict>
</array>
</plist>
---------------
With this file, i never had any luck in making my burner seen by Panther.
And then, tonight, i tried MacBidouille's trick: use indents:
---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<array>
<dict>
<key>DRDevicePersonalities</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>DRDeviceVendorName</key>
<string>SAMSUNG</string>
<key>DRDeviceProductName</key>
<string>CD-R/RW SW-248B</string>
</dict>
</array>
<key>DRDeviceProfile</key>
<dict>
<key>DRDeviceDescription</key>
<string>RW48x16x46</string>
</dict>
<key>DRDeviceProfileVersion</key>
<integer>1</integer>
</dict>
</array>
</plist>
-------------
And it works! I can now burn from iTunes, The Finder and Disk Util in Panther!
I really can't explain why is that. That's the way it is!

edit: just realized the indents are not visible in this post, even though they are in the compose message window. For those who might be interessed, i can make a copy available.
