Hello-
I am looking into a new laptop and while the SuperDrive speed on the PB's is, well, pretty slow, will idvd work with an extenal DVD burner (one with which is faster) once the software recognizes that there is a "Apple installed" dvd burner or does iDVD REQUIRE burning to the internal s-l-o-w drive?

Thanks

No. iDVD will not allow you to use an external DVD burner.

Thanks for the info. If anyone knows of a work around (other than waiting for a faster drive ) please post.
