suggestions for a dvd writer...mac....firewire?

cajonezzz · 28th October 2002

Hi fellow DAW users. We're looking for a DVD writer for backing up PT sessions for clients. It'll live with an older g4 400 dedicated to doing back ups....Any suggestions/caveats that you can pass on would be helpful. Thanks!

Apple SuperDrive. You can mount one internally.
My works perfect.....

Depending on your timescale this info might be worth bearing in mind:

Souped up SuperDrive
[MacUser] 15:44
Pioneer, manufacturer of Apple's SuperDrive, has announced a new double speed version of the CD and DVD writing device.

Successor to the DVR-A04, which Apple currently deploys in many of its Power Mac, iMac and eMac models, the DVR-A05 gives double writing speed across the range of DVD and CD media.

The higher speeds are achieved with a new writing pick-up and new laser driving technology. There is also a new liquid crystal tilt mechanism that enables better performance with unevenly thick or curved discs.

The drive will be available in November, with a retail price of around $299 (£190). It is not known whether Apple will be using the mechanism in future products.
