sytem profiler says i don't have Disc Burning Device
but shows the Pioneer DVR-103 on the ATA BUS
Have you tried saving as a disk image from idvd using the option in the file menu and then burning that image with Disk Utility manually?
i ran out and got a LaCie DVDRW 16X LIGHTSCRIBE burner and stuck it in.
so far
it works.
i paid 70$.
what a drag.
i could have gotten one from OWC for like 40$.
but i'm on crunch deadline.
thanks.
