Any recommendations for an external disc burner for an iMac G5 (maybe
Intel iMac) to do DVD/DL and lightscribe?
Buffalo, which has a Sony Optiarc super multi-burner inside a well
designed case.
NewEgg no longer carries it, but it has a Lite-On which meets your
requirements ...

I generally use internal SATA drives wherever possible, but having
handy a USB burner, especially if it is bootable (as the Buffalo is)
can be nice.
I just bought a LITE-ON 22X DVD Writer Black IDE Model iHAP422-98
LightScribe Support form Newegg for $24.00. for my PM G5 to replace a
Pioneer CD?DVD burner.
IIRC, non-oem ODDs don't function with the iLife apps. At least I think
it used to be that way, haven't heard it mentioned in a long time.
I think there used to be a hack called 'Fair Burn' or something that
would fool the iLife apps into thinking your ODD had Apple firmware but
I can't seem to find it on the web.
