You can buy the new Pioneer DVD-R/RW +R/+RW drive for under $300 from a PC store, and it's fully recognized for burning by Apple in OX X 10.3 (Panther). e.g. http://www.umart.com.au/phtml/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=20&&bid=3&sid=4533 for the one I bought. or http://www.umart.com.au/phtml/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=20&&bid=3&sid=4183 If you want the retail pack with all the unecessary PC junk > > > Apple PowerMac 5400 40/2gb as is $50 pickup only > > > Pioneer A-05 4x ide internal fully apple compatible DVD-R/RW $400 >Phil.... > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >e.g. >http://www.umart.com.au/phtml/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=20&&bid=3&sid=4533 how do u know what the min system requirement is for these? > how do u know what the min system requirement is for these? The min system requirement is to have an ATA/IDE connector - what else would you need? If you're going to author DVDs you would need a G4 to get reasonable encoding times, but if you can put up with the wait, you don't HAVE to have one.

My reply was directed to Phil, who was considering buying a 2nd-hand DVD burner for more than the price for a new model. If memory serves me, you don't have a Mac that has the grunt required for burning DVDs? >> >Phil.... >> > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >If memory serves me, you don't have a Mac that has the grunt required for burning DVDs? correct. how much grunt does one need? > >In article <none-2910031245050001@mebax13-a150.dialup.optusnet.com.au>, > woodsie <none@none.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > how much grunt does one need? Well, the first G4 to come with a Superdrive was a 733Mhz single processor. Use that as a guide :D correct. >> how much grunt does one need? > >Well, the first G4 to come with a Superdrive was a 733Mhz single processor. > >Use that as a guide :D ah right. now why so much grunt just to burn a dvd? >>> how much grunt does one need? >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >now why so much grunt just to burn a dvd? I'd be surprised if that were necessary. Where you'd need the grunt would be if you're "authoring" DVD content, because then you're doing MPEG-2 encodes. I wouldn't expect merely burning a DVD from an image to require any more compute power than burning a CD-R, though I haven't tested that theory.

ANY G4 will burn a DVD no problems, and all can be retrofitted with one. The grunt is only needed to encode the MPEG2 from, say , a .dv file - but then any g4 will do that if you leave it going overnight. A good copy of toast helps, and it supports buffer underrun prevention which is nice. I have not tried a dvd burner with a G3, but suspect that would work too.

That's not so much grunt... :-P |
