Anyone had an experience with this unit? jpb

If you read my above post, I have actually burned a DVD. I did it in DVD Studio Pro, not iDVD. That's the difference. In SP, you need to encode the video first, which takes the …

Hey - i wanna buy a G4 imac with a superdrive and i was wondering how much time it took to burn a full length DVD. Anybody know? Also can you use the computer during this time? …

It's a 2x Burn Speed for DVDs. I think that means the 1 hour disc would take 30 minutes to burn. At $5 a disc, I wouldn't risk using the computer at the same time. That's an expen…

Head over to www.cd-recordable.com DVD-R's are $2.99 a piece....Even come with Jewel Cases and work GREAT in the new iMac! -Matt

i have an iMac G4 800mhz and it takes me 30minutes to burn a 90minute dvd...however the time it takes to import and compress it is a b****.
