I believe that I've asked about this before, but never did get the answer I was looking for… First off, system specs.
867Mhz G4 Quicksilver Running OS 9.2.2 only NO OSX!! I bought 16x dvd discs to burn some home movies. My Apple SuperDrive supported dvd burning but only, apparently, up to 8x and couldn't recognize 16x DVDs. I replaced the drive with an LG drive, but it didn't support apple software burning so I couldn't even open iDVD. My questions are: 1. Is the ATA bus too slow to writer 16x with the Apple SuperDrive? If so, are there any possible ways to get faster bus (I.E. 80 pin cables?) 2. Is the Apple SuperDrive not capable of burning 16x? 3. What respectable drive does support Apple Software burning(in OS 9 and 16x speed)? 4. If IDE is not fast enough for 16x burning, is there a SATA drive hooked up to a SATA PCI card that will still support Apple Software burning? Thanks for your time! P.S. please people, don't stray from the topic or hijack the thread.
