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.

For a very long time that was the case, but since 10.5 any drive will do. The software you're remembering is PatchBurn <http://www.patchburn.de/ >
