INFO: DVD+/-RW drive recommendations...

I was going to do the same thing with an external firewire drive. It's
still a good idea. However I ended up buying a Pioneer 106 for the mac
and a LG GSA-4040B for the pc (the LG received top honors at
tomshardware.com over the sony). Both for about the same price as an
external. Both drives are 4X DVD+/-R +/-RW. Prices are dropping as 8x
drives are being introduced. I also bought iLife software (for iDvd)
which retails for $49. -Ken
