Hi listers I have a G4 quicksilver with a CD writer as standard - thus unlike many earlier G4s it doesn't read DVDs.
I would like a DVD writer for archiving, etc., and have seen some external ones that will write up top 8.4GB. There is an empty bay on the quicksilver - can I get a writer for this? Also, a lot of the writeable DVD discs that I see about are 4.2GB is the 8.4 special media or just a crafty way of writing to a 4.2? Will any DVD reader read an 8.4 DVD or does it have to read by an appropriate drive. If I need to give out discs out I need to know that they can be read by 'your average DVD reader'.
