Looking for the least expensive external DVDRW drive that supports OSX and iDVD/iPhoto 5...any suggestions?



Does it work to Build your own, via a pioneer internal drive and macally firewire 5.25 enclosure?



Thanks!

    i would advise against getting the cheapest. i've had so many problems with cheap and unreliable cdr/dvdr drives in the past.



    try to spend more if you can.



    just my 2c

    I've been weighing up whether to get a Superdrive configured with a Mac mini or go for an external DVDRW drive.



    Having less devices on my desk is a pro for the Super but I'm not sure which is better, iDVD or Toast 6 Lite as I haven't had experience with either. What's the general consensus on this?



    Also, does iDVD support double layer? This would be the clincher I guess. I can pay a little more and get a double layer Lacie w/ Toast 6 Lite but I'm not exactly loaded at the moment so saving $100 would be nice.
