External DVD-Burner for iBook G4. Discussion in 'Buying Tips, Advice and Discussion (archive)' started by SilentPanda, Jan 9, 2004. Most Liked Posts. Dvd burners the mag mac addict had review of several external burners a month or two ago. I remember Lacie was one as was formac.you might want to look. It is not very practical to burn DVD's with USB 1.1 It might work, but it would take forever (like an hour or two to burn a full DVD). G4 towers are fitted with Firewire 400 ports built in. Another option is to install an INTERNAL CD/DVD burner.

If the recorder functions as a CD- or DVD-ROM reader in Mac OS X, Toast will be able to access the drive as well. All other USB recorders require a driver update from their vendor to gain functionality under Mac OS X. Which SCSI recorders are supported? On Mac OS 9, Toast 5 Titanium supports all previously supported SCSI devices.
On Mac OS X, Toast 5 Titanium supports all SCSI devices that support the MMC standard (Multi Media Command set). Virtually all CD-RW drives shipped in the last three years support some flavor of the MMC standard. As of Mac OS X version 10.1.2, due to a minor bug in Apple’s Mac OS X driver for SCSI MMC devices, Toast may require a free third-party patch to be installed before it can recognize SCSI MMC devices. This utility can be downloaded at. I think a lot of peoples problems were due to buying USB drives without checking the specs out first. Plus the first iMacs had a big issue with 90% of drives out there, your G4 should be fine.
Hello, I have a question about buring dual layer DVDs using Toast. I have an iBook w/ an external Pioneer A09 drive. In Toast 7, there are two options I can choose from. Under the Data Tab: DVD-ROM (UDF). Under the Video Tab: DVD-Video from VIDEOTS This 2nd option is how I back up commercial movies onto single layer DVDs. However, I was told that I should use the 1st option to burn my movie onto dual layer DVDs.
I would really appreciate some direction from anyone who’s used Toast 7 to burning DL DVD’s before. The DL coasters get pretty expensive. Thanks everyone in advance! Powered by, best viewed with JavaScript enabled.
