OWC has a new external $399 Firewire DVD-R drive that they claim works with iDVD. But can iDVD be installed on a PowerBook? I think as long as the PB notices that there is a compatible Pioneer DVR-104 drive mechanism, it will install iDVD. I have successfully installed iDVD on a pre-superdrive G4 tower after installing the internal Pioneer drive. Could be good news for PowerBook owners who want to burn DVDs.

I could be wrong here, but I thought I read that the iDVD 2.0 updater ($20) available for download from the Apple store actually installed the entire program. Presumably, this could be used with the above-mentioned drive for TiBook DVD burning.
