The drive compatibility database at <a href="http://www.xlr8yourmac.com"; target="_blank">xlr8yourmac</a> is the best place to look, assuming you know the brand and model.
There's also different degrees of working, i.e. burning data CDs/DVDs using Toast, burning data CDs/DVDs from the Finder, burning audio/MP3 CDs using iTunes and burning DVDs using iDVD.
I believe only a small number of drives, including the Pioneer DVR-105 (SuperDrive), are fully compatible with the iApps. If you want to use iDVD, I also think it has to be fitted internally.
